What is the > equivalent weight or volume please? Good morning, Chris! I know what you mean - I once had that problem too - but I think it goes this way: In the USA butter is packaged a little differently. A one-pound package of butter is divided in half lengthways and then each of those slabs is cut lengthways again to make four equal 'sticks' of butter which are wrapped separately and then packaged to look like one rectangular 'box' of butter. Each 'stick' of butter would therefore weigh one-quarter pound, and a 'half-stick' would weigh one-eighth of a pound for 6 ounces total. IF I have that correct, then 1-1/2 sticks of butter would be a tiny fraction over 170 grams (I have no idea what that would be in 'cups', however.) Hope this helps!
