Formula and Step-by-Step

cups × 255g/cup ÷ 453.592g/lb = pounds

Start with 0.02 cups of soy sauce
1 cup of soy sauce = 255g
0.02 × 255 = 5.1g
Convert grams to pounds: 5.1 ÷ 453.592 = 0.01 lb

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

Measuring Tip

For liquids, place your measuring cup on a flat surface and read at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus (the curve at the surface) should align with the measurement line.
