Answer:

16 ounces in a pound
8 ounces in a cup and 16 ounces in a pound
8 and 16
8 in cup 16 in pound. All those who have thumbs downed our answers are idiots. any that has a thumbs down is the right answer. It looks like someone went searching on the internet for some technical BS but the FACTS are 8 and 16.
There are 16 oz in a lb. Now u figure out the rest....
8 ounces in a cup and 16 ozs. In a pound.
1 cup = 8 oz
1 lb = 16 oz
8 ounces in a cup 16 ounces in a pound
A pints a pound, the world around.
there are 8 ounces in a cup
and in most cases there are 16 ounces in a pound (based on the old adage "A pint (2 cups) is a pound the whole world round"
a cup is 8 fluid ounces- this is a measurement of volume- not weight
a pound is 16 ounces
There is 8 ounces in a cup and there are 16 ounces in a pound
The fact that there are 16 fluid ounces (oz.) in a pint (8 oz. to the cup) and 16 dry oz. to the pound leads to all sorts of confusion and mistakes in recipes. Further, it is quite common for recipes to specify an amount of a dry substance in liquid units: a cup of chopped onions, a half cup of diced celery, etc. This is done because we typically don't keep scales in our kitchens, but we do have measuring cups.
Where this really becomes problematic is with measuring flour. The actual amount of flour in a measuring vessel will vary widely depending upon how loose or compact it is.
There are 16 ounces in a pound, but a cup isn't a measure of weight - it's a measure of volume - so it would depend on what substance you were measuring!
1 cup = 8oz
1 lb = 16oz
First you need to understand that fluid ounces and avoirdupois ounces are NOT the same thing.

There are 8 fluid ounces in an American cup, and 10 in an Imperial cup.

There are 16 avoirdupois ounces in a pound.

(And you thought the metric system was confusing!)

However, for cooking and in particular for baking, you get much more accurate and successful results by weighing everything.
That depends upon which country you are in and whether you are using the old British Imperial Units or the American Units. Almost all the world is metric but the USA. There are 8 oz. in a cup and 16 oz. in a lb. in the USA.
