Here is a detailed calculation:
1. Weight of sugar: 10 pounds
2. Conversion factor: 1 pound ≈ 2 cups (granulated sugar)
3. Calculation: 10 pounds × 2 cups/pound = 20 cups
To give a better idea, here are the approximate volumes for different types of sugar:
– Granulated sugar: 1 pound ≈ 2 cups
– Brown sugar: 1 pound ≈ 2.25-2.5 cups (packed)
– Confectioner’s sugar: 1 pound ≈ 3.5-4 cups
Keep in mind that these conversions are approximate, as the density of sugar can vary slightly depending on the type and how it’s packed.
