How Much Is 1.5 Pounds of Mayonnaise in Cups?
Converting 1.5 pounds of mayonnaise to cups gives 3.09 cups. First convert to grams (1.5 lb = 680.39g), then divide by the density of mayonnaise (220g per cup). Each ingredient fills a different volume at the same weight.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.5 pounds of mayonnaise
- Convert pounds to grams: 1.5 × 453.59 = 680.39g
- 1 cup of mayonnaise = 220g
- 680.39g ÷ 220g/cup = 3.09 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Mayonnaise should be spooned into the measuring cup and leveled off. Do not scoop directly from the jar, which traps air.
