Best Answer

You're trying to compare weight and volume. It doesn't really work properly. A pound is 16 ounces, and a cup is 8 fluid ounces, so you would expect a pound to be 2 cups. The problem is that the density of the sugar is a variable. If you pack the sugar into the measuring cup, it will weigh more, thereby coming out to more than a pound in weight.
