Also, to find out how many pounds = 128 grams, you can set up a ratio:
1 pound : 453.6 grams :: x pound : 128 grams. Same as 1/453.6 = x/128
Multiply both sides by 128: 128/453.6 = x
Do the division: x = 0.282 pounds, or just over 1/4 of a pound, or just over 4 ounces (16 oz in a pound)
To answer your original question, "How many cups of sliced carrots makes a pound?": Since 1 cup is just over 1/4 of a pound, then approximately 4 cups of sliced carrots would be about a pound (and that's a lot to eat at one time :-)
Given your approximation of 1 cup = 128.0 grams:
1 pound X 453.6 grams/1 pound X 1 cup/128.0 grams = 3.544 cups
