How many cups is 3lbs?

Answer 1

That depends entirely on what is being measured because cups is a measure of volume and pounds is a measure of weight. For example, 3/4 pounds of styrofoam will fill more cups than 3/4 pounds of sand will.

Answer 2

how many cups in 3 pounds makes about as much sense as how many kilograms in a litre of an unknown fluid, it all depends on density easiest in this case would be as lb/cup if a fluid is 1/3 lb per cup then 1/3 lb/cup*3 cup = 1 lb so it takes 3 cups /pound multiply by 3/3 ( which is a representation of 1) and we get 9 cups/3 lbs so it takes 9 cups to hold 3 lbs. IN THIS CASE, however the phrasing of the question is illogical at best.

Answer 3

This is not a valid comparison cups measures volume while pounds measures mass. Think of it like having 3 pounds languid and 3 pounds of air. Both are the same 3 pounds but 3 pounds of gold is small enough to fit in your hand while air is so light you wouldn't be able to carry the container it is in because it would be so big.

Answer 4

Approximately 6 cups of water are in 3 pounds

Answer 5

those are two different types of measurements, wieght(lbs) and volume(cups) so it can not be translated unless you know the density

Answer 6

The units are incompatible. Pounds is a measure of mass, cups are a measure of volume.

Answer 7

If chopped small that could be about 8-9 cups
