How Much Is 1.73 Cups of Carrots (Diced) in Pounds?
1.73 cups of carrots (diced) weighs 0.49 lb. This is based on carrots (diced) having a density of 128g 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 1.73 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.73 cups of carrots (diced)
- 1 cup of carrots (diced) = 128g

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?
The abbreviation "lb" comes from the Latin word "libra." One pound equals exactly 453.59237 grams. For rough mental math, 1 pound is slightly less than half a kilogram.
