Questions and answers on how to convert things from one unit or system to another
Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on
convert-me.com FaceBook pageThank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

Rice comes in 10 pound bags, but is measured out in cups. If I want to determine the cost of ingredients I need to measure by unit cost in this case Cents/Cup. Although I know the bulk density of rice is 45 I am still not sure how to make the conversion from lbs to cups. :?

The bulk density of 45 is ONLY useful if you know the associated units.
The US Rice Federation gives approximate densities of 1 cup dry rice = approx. 7 oz. (wt.), or 1 lb. dry rice = approx. 2 1/4 c. (vol.)

So your 10 lb bag is about 22.5 cups.
