22 ounces equals how many cups?

Answer 1

This is a trickier question to answer than you think. 'Cups' in the US can refer to either liquid or dry measure, and there is definitely a difference between them. In dry measure, ounces refers to the weight of the ingredient and this will vary greatly depending on the ingredient itself. For example, one cup of all purpose flour weighs much less than one cup of peanut butter, or one cup of salt.

Here are a few approximates of some common ingredients:

1 cup all purpose flour = 125 gm or 4.41 oz x 22 cups = 2.75 kg or 97.02 oz or 6.06 lbs

1 cup wheat flour = 120 gm or 4.23 oz x 22 cups = 2.64 kg or 93.06 oz or 5.82 lbs

1 cup sugar = 200 gm or 7.05 oz x 22 cups = 4.4 kg or 155.1 oz or 9.69 lbs

1 cup brown sugar = 220 gm or 7.76 oz x 22 cups = 4.84 kg or 170.72 oz or 10.67 lbs

1 cup peanut butter = 258 gm or 9.10 oz x 22 cups = 5.68 kg or 200.2 oz or 12.51 lbs

1 cup butter = 227 gm or 8.0 oz x 22 cups = 4.99 kg or 176 oz or 11 lbs

1 cup shortening/lard = 205 gm or 7.23 oz x 22 cups = 4.51 kg or 159.06 oz or 9.9 lbs

1 cup rice (long grain white) = 185 gm or 6.53 oz x 22 cups = 4.07 kg or 143.66 oz or 8.98 lbs

Liquid measure is much easier to calculate. There are 8 fluid ounces in one cup. 22 cups x 8 ounces equal 176 ounces, or approximately 1 3/8 gallons, or 1 gallon, 1 quart, and 1 pint

Answer 2

That would be two and three quarters cups.
