How Much Is 0.13 Cups of Sour Cream in Pounds?
0.13 cups of sour cream weighs 0.07 lb. This is based on sour cream having a density of 230g 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 0.13 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.13 cups of sour cream
- 1 cup of sour cream = 230g
- 0.13 × 230 = 29.9g
- Convert grams to pounds: 29.9 ÷ 453.592 = 0.07 lb
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Thickness varies between brands. Full-fat, low-fat, and non-fat versions can have slightly different weights per measuring cup.

Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
What is a Pound?
Pounds are the standard weight unit for buying ingredients in the US. A standard bag of flour is 5 pounds (2,268g) and a standard bag of sugar is 4 pounds (1,814g).
