How Much Is 4.99 Cups of Granulated Sugar in Ounces?
4.99 cups of granulated sugar equals 35.20 oz. Granulated sugar has a density of 200g per cup (200g per cup), which means it's moderate weight compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 4.99 cups of all-purpose flour would be 22.03 oz.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 4.99 cups of granulated sugar
- 1 cup of granulated sugar = 200g
- 4.99 × 200 = 998g
- Convert grams to ounces: 998 ÷ 28.3495 = 35.20 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Sugar is one of the easier dry ingredients to measure by volume because the crystals pack relatively consistently compared to flour or cocoa powder.

Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
What is an Ounce?
Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.
