how many cups are in a pound?

Answer 1

a cup is 8oz is 16oz in a pound so 2 cups

Answer 2

Pounds are weight and cups are volume (size). They are not convertible to each other. Yes, they both use ounces but it is a common mistake to assume that fluid ounces (8 per cup) and regular ounces (16 per pound) are the same thing. A cup of water weighs aprox 1/2 pound and is a full 8 fluid ounces. A pound of water is about a pint (2 cups). A pound of breadcrumbs will be much bigger than a pound of water and a cup of breadcrumbs will weigh less than a cup of water. The answer to your question will be different for each food. Sorry.

Answer 5

A pound of feathers, or a cup of lead?
Sorry I can't help without knowing what you want measured or weighed.

Answer 6

The two measurements don't relate. Cups is a volume measurement, pounds is a weight measurement. Look at a sight www.onlineconversion.com. It will give you all the conversions you will ever need.

Answer 7

cups of what? there are two cups of water in a pound of water.

Answer 8

like most people have said, it depends on what you're measuring. volume is not equal to weight, unless you're measuring water or a water-like substance.

i.e. a cup of flour won't be equal in weight to a cup of chocolate chips.

Answer 9

cups of what? a cup of water doesnt weigh the same as a cup of flour

Answer 10

one is a measure of volume- cup, the other of weight.
