Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.89 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour = 125.16g
- 0.89 × 125.16 = 111.39g
- Convert grams to pounds: 111.39 ÷ 453.592 = 0.25 lb
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
What is a Pound?
Pounds are the standard weight unit for buying ingredients in the US. A standard bag of flour is 5 pounds (2,268g) and a standard bag of sugar is 4 pounds (1,814g).
