Cup is a unit of volume. Pound is a unit of weight. You can not directly compare them without having the density of material. It is like saying how many liters are in a kilogram... Of course, you can't really directly compare pounds and kilograms, as one is a unit of force and the other a unit of mass... but it is close enough for imprecise measurements such as cooking food.
