Approximately 2.25 cups equals one pound of raisins. This is measured as densely packed raisins with little space in between.
there are 16 ounces in a pound of anything.
One cup of raisins weighs approximately 5 ounces. I would guess that number could waver an ounce or so depending on how full you packed the cup. Therefore, it's safe to say that there are 3 cups of raisins in one pound.
Wait uhh sorry not this one
Let N be the number of pounds of nuts at 6 per pound in the mixture Then 150-N is the number of pounds of raisins at 3 per pound in the mixture We are selling 150 lbs at 4 per pound Therefore (150x4) = (Nx6) + (150-N)x3 That is 600 = 6N + 450 -3N Transposing we get 600-450 = 3N That is 150 = 3N N = 50 lbs So the 150 lbs of the mixture contains 50 lbs of nuts and 100 lbs of raisins

It depends on how much you use of the other ingredients. The Wikibooks Cookbook says:� pound Flour� pound Butter� pound Eggs (4 eggs)� pound Sugar� pound assorted dried fruit (Currants, Sultanas, and Raisins, with perhaps a lesser quantity of Glac� cherries).The traditional recipe doubled the quantities above, and eliminated the fruit. The name comes from the fact that it used a pound each of sugar, flour, butter and eggs. Happy baking.

It would be interesting to know why the question is being asked however. It seems to be quite a common question, and I think a lot of these are from students wanting us respondents to do their homework for them! It shows a good many people are very unclear of the basics of mass, volume and density, so when faced with an Imperial - Metric conversion they muddle the units.
One pound of grapes equals about 2 - 2.5 cups of grapes.
