Unfortunately there is no general answer because pound is a measurement of weight and cup is a measurement of volume. It depends on what you're measuring.

For example: For water 1 cup = 8 fluid ounces = 8 ounces weight = 0.5 pounds. So 2 cups water weighs 1 pound. But this only works for water.

Sugar is almost the same so 2 cups sugar weighs approximately 1 pound.

But for flour you have 4 cups per pound.
CUPS is a measurement of Volume and POUNDS is a measurement of weight. These cannot be converted. A cup of feathers will weigh far less than a cup of gold.
