how many cups do i need to get 5 pounds of sugar?

I'm trying to make fudge, and the recipe calls for 5 pounds of sugar. I have a 10-pound bag, but I'm unsure how many cups I need to measure out to get 5 pounds of sugar. Can anyone help me with this?

A pound of white sugar is 2.25 cups, so 5 pounds of sugar would be 11.25 cups.

check how many cups of sugar are in the bag, and just divide it by two

weigh yourself on scales and then do it again holding the sugar remove sugar until you have your weight increased by only 5 lbs when you step on scales holding bag of sugar.

the sugar that has been removed will be 5lbs

cup measures aren’t a good measure of weight because dry ingredients settle so much, but you could try measuring the whole bag into a container, counting cups as you go, then cut the number in half…
