1 cup is 8oz and theres 16oz in a pound so it would be 1 cup
since cups measure liquid and pounds measure weight, there is no way to do this.
Sorry, but the question doesn't make any sense. A pound of lead would fit in a single cup; a pound of feathers would take many cups. In short, it depends on the substance you're measuring.
No, because there is a weight difference for every material. 1/2 lb of feathers would be may more cups than 1/2 lb of steel. See...
1 cup=8 oz, 8 oz= 1/2 lb.
Got a scale??? Kitchen scale?
If not, guestimate!
The first guy is correct. The second guy is wrong--he/she is confusing LIQUID ounces with ounces in weight. You can't convert weights to cups unless you know the specific ingredient you're measuring.
Think of it this way. A cup of cotton candy weighs very little, right? But a cup of sugar weighs much more than that. A cup of mercury would weigh a heck of a lot more.
Like everybody has said please explain what you are measuring. Things weigh so differently that even in cooking there are many different weights for different foods.
For example a cup of butter measures 1/2 pound but a cup of flour only weighs 4 ounces.
Don't worry we are all trying to help, but we need to know what you are trying to measure.
"A pint is a pound the world around", according to Alton Brown from the Food Network, so I'd guess that 1/2 lb is 1 cup. Try it.
Because pounds measure weight, and cups measure volume, you'd have to know the density of the substance to answer this question. Without knowing the density (or at least what the substance IS, so the density can be found), there's no way to answer your question.
