354 cups of butter weighs 177.16 lb. This is based on butter having a density of 227g per cup. Because cups measure volume and pounds measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 354 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 354 cups of butter
- 1 cup of butter = 227g
- 354 × 227 = 80,358g
- Convert grams to pounds: 80,358 ÷ 453.592 = 177.16 lb
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Butter is easiest to measure using the markings on the wrapper. One US stick = 113g = 1/2 cup = 8 tablespoons.
