16.9 cups of honey weighs 12.67 lb. This is based on honey having a density of 340g 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 16.9 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 16.9 cups of honey
- 1 cup of honey = 340g
- 16.9 × 340 = 5,746g
- Convert grams to pounds: 5,746 ÷ 453.592 = 12.67 lb
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.
