2.04 cups of greek yogurt weighs 1.10 lb. This is based on greek yogurt having a density of 245g 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 2.04 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2.04 cups of greek yogurt
