Formula and Step-by-Step

cups × 150g/cup ÷ 453.592g/lb = pounds
  1. Start with 0.38 cups of potatoes (diced)
  2. 1 cup of potatoes (diced) = 150g
  3. 0.38 × 150 = 57g
  4. Convert grams to pounds: 57 ÷ 453.592 = 0.13 lb

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

The weight of diced produce per cup depends on how finely it is cut. Smaller dice packs more tightly and weighs more per cup than large chunks.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 0.13 lb, based on potatoes (diced) having a density of 150g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of cups by 150 (grams per cup for potatoes (diced)), then divide by 453.592 to convert grams to pounds. For 0.38 cups: 0.38 × 150 = 57g, then 57 ÷ 453.592 = 0.13 lb.
For the most accurate results, weigh potatoes (diced) on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring cup and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
