Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.76 pounds of chocolate chips
- Convert pounds to grams: 0.76 × 453.59 = 344.73g

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.
