Formula and Step-by-Step

(pounds × 453.59g/lb) ÷ 150g/cup = cups
  1. Start with 6.94 pounds of cornmeal
  2. Convert pounds to grams: 6.94 × 453.59 = 3,147.93g
  3. 1 cup of cornmeal = 150g
  4. 3,147.93g ÷ 150g/cup = 20.99 cups

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

Measuring Tip

Pour grains into the measuring cup and level off. Do not shake or tap, as this settles the grains and increases the weight.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 20.99 cups, based on cornmeal having a density of 150g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
First convert pounds to grams (1 pound = 453.592g), then divide by 150 (grams per cup). For 6.94 pounds: 6.94 × 453.592 = 3,147.93g, then 3,147.93 ÷ 150 = 20.99 cups.
For the most accurate results, weigh cornmeal on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring cup and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
Reverse the conversion: 20.99 cups × 150g/cup = 3,147.93g, then 3,147.93g ÷ 453.592 = 6.94 pounds. Or use the Cups to Pounds converter.
