I have a recipe that calls for 1 lb. of large elbow macaroni. I could only find a 24 ounce package. How many cups do I use for 1 lb.? I measured the 24 ounces and it's 7 cups.

Well, 1 lb is 16 ounces. So, you would use 16 ounces of macaroni. Which should come out to around a little more than 4 and 1/2 cups.
Liquid measure has 8 ounces equalling 1 cup. Dry measure is different. 7 cups equals about 24 ounces.
Thank you
There are volume ounces and measured ounces. Not the same thing.
4 measured oz of applesauce does not weigh the same as 4 measured oz of powdered sugar.
Not on my scale!
16 ounces is a pound Use 2/3 of the package.
If you ever need help again with conversations - Google is your best friend.
I searched : how heavy is 24 oz to pound
Results say
24 ounce is 1.5 pounds.
So I would 80% off the bag.
That would be 60% of the bag I believe.
If you need 1 lb, and have 1.5 lbs, divide the package into 3 equal parts, 2 of the divisions equals 1 lb and you will have 1/2 lb left over.
1 cup = 8 oz = 1/2 lb.
2 cup = 16 oz = 1 lb.
1 cup of liquid is 8 fl oz. 1 cup of dry elbow macaroni is 1/4 pound
Thank you for actually answering JUST the question I asked. My recipe called for 1/2 lb. macaroni, and since I did not still have the container it came in, I was unsure how much that was in cups.
