I'm trying to figure my costs. Does anyone know how many cups of granulated sugar are in 5 lbs, or 1 lb? I could get out the measuring cup, but I'd rather be on Cake Central and I thought someone here probably already knows the answer.

Look on the Nutrition Information label. It should tell you the serving size and how many servings are in there. For example if a serving size is 1/4 cup and there are 80 servings, then 80 divided by 4 = 20 cups (or 1/4 times 80 = 20).

I go to www.ask.com a lot when I have to figure this kind of stuff and I dont' have the original packaging.
