Formula and Step-by-Step

(pounds × 453.59g/lb) ÷ 180g/cup = cups
  1. Start with 8.18 pounds of coconut sugar
  2. Convert pounds to grams: 8.18 × 453.59 = 3,710.39g
  3. 1 cup of coconut sugar = 180g
  4. 3,710.39g ÷ 180g/cup = 20.61 cups

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