How Much Is 0.08 Cups of Self-Rising Flour in Pounds?
0.08 cups of self-rising flour weighs 0.02 lb. This is based on self-rising flour having a density of 120g 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 0.08 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.08 cups of self-rising flour
- 1 cup of self-rising flour = 120g
- 0.08 × 120 = 9.6g
- Convert grams to pounds: 9.6 ÷ 453.592 = 0.02 lb
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
