1 cup of shortening weighs 7 oz. So if 16 oz. = l pound, its about 2 1/4 cups. The best way to convert is to multiply how many cups you need by 16 oz., then divide by 7. That will get you back to cups.
Its about 2 cups of shortening per lb so it would be 10 cups in 5 lbs of shortening.
It is 5 ounces by weight. For butter, 1 pound (16 ounces) is 2 cups, and most shortenings are similar.
1 cup (note: while I don't know the exact value, this isn't even close. A pound of water is about 2 cups, and shortening floats on water. 2 cups would be a much better estimate. )
