How Much Is 0.16 Pounds of Raisins in Cups?
0.16 pounds of raisins equals 0.50 cups. That's 72.57g, and Raisins has a density of 145g 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 0.16 pounds of raisins
- Convert pounds to grams: 0.16 × 453.59 = 72.57g
- 1 cup of raisins = 145g
- 72.57g ÷ 145g/cup = 0.50 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
To prevent dried fruit from sinking in batter, toss it with a tablespoon of flour before folding in. This does not affect the weight measurement.
