1.47 pounds of semolina flour equals 3.99 cups. Semolina flour has a density of 167g per cup. A lighter ingredient like flour (125g/cup) would fill more volume at the same weight, which is why ingredient-specific conversions matter.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.47 pounds of semolina flour
- Convert pounds to grams: 1.47 × 453.59 = 666.78g
- 1 cup of semolina flour = 167g
- 666.78g ÷ 167g/cup = 3.99 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
