One cup of sugar on my scale = 8 ounces. If my scale is correct, then there is 10 cups of sugar in 5 pounds of sugar.
Approximately 10 cups.
Well, since it was not specified on the type of sugar.... 10 cups granulated sugar = 5 pounds 17 1/2 cups confectioners sugar = 5 pounds 12 1/2 cups brown sugar = 5 pounds
Five pounds of white granulated sugar contains approximately ten cups of sugar.
4 cups of sugar is approximately 2 pounds.
1 pound equals 16 oz so 1 cup equals 8oz. Therefore, 1 pound would equal 2 cups, so, 10 pounds of sugar would equal 20 cups.
That is approximately 8 pounds
30 cups is 16.5 pounds of sugar.
For each pound of sugar there are two cups. So for 2 pounds of sugar there would be 4 cups.
In a 5 pound bag of sugar there are 80 ounces, 5 X 16=80. There are 8 ounces per cup, so there are 10 cups in 5 pounds of sugar.
On average, 1 pound of sugar is equivalent to about 2 cups. Therefore, 3 pounds of sugar would be approximately 6 cups.
5 lbs of sugar is 10 cups. It is also 20 half cups.
