Formula and Step-by-Step

cups × 150g/cup ÷ 453.592g/lb = pounds
  1. Start with 1 cup of potatoes (diced)
  2. 1 cup of potatoes (diced) = 150g
  3. 1 × 150 = 150g
  4. Convert grams to pounds: 150 ÷ 453.592 = 0.33 lb

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