Formula and Step-by-Step

(pounds × 453.59g/lb) ÷ 255g/cup = cups
  1. Start with 26.98 pounds of soy sauce
  2. Convert pounds to grams: 26.98 × 453.59 = 12,237.92g
  3. 1 cup of soy sauce = 255g
  4. 12,237.92g ÷ 255g/cup = 47.99 cups

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.
