How many pounds are in one cup?

Answer 1

It depends on the size on the cup you are talking about and the weight of things in the cup but a cup is not a true measurement like ounces to pounds. You can weigh how many pounds with a balance.

Answer 2

You can't convert between a cup and weight; a cup is a unit of volume.

The size of a cup depends on the country; traditionally, in the UK, a cup is a half an imperial pint. In the US it is half a US pint, but there is also an offical cupsize of 240ml, in many countries it is 250ml.

If you're measuring water, 250ml weighs 250 grams.

The amount of pounds in one cup will vary depending on what substance is being measured. For example, one cup of water weighs approximately 0.52 pounds, while one cup of flour weighs about 0.44 pounds.

Answer 4

Cups are a measure of volume, pounds are a measure of mass. The density of the substance is required for conversion.

Answer 5
