2.7 pounds of greek yogurt equals 5.00 cups. That's 1,224.70g, and Greek yogurt has a density of 245g per cup. Because pounds measure weight and cups measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2.7 pounds of greek yogurt
- Convert pounds to grams: 2.7 × 453.59 = 1,224.70g
- 1 cup of greek yogurt = 245g
- 1,224.70g ÷ 245g/cup = 5.00 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
