Converting 0.13 pounds of margarine to cups gives 0.26 cups. First convert to grams (0.13 lb = 58.97g), then divide by the density of margarine (227g per cup). Each ingredient fills a different volume at the same weight.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.13 pounds of margarine
- Convert pounds to grams: 0.13 × 453.59 = 58.97g
- 1 cup of margarine = 227g
- 58.97g ÷ 227g/cup = 0.26 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Tub margarine should be spooned into the measuring cup and leveled off. It is softer than stick margarine and packs differently.
