Explanation

This page starts from weight ounces and estimates cups for granulated sugar using the same ounce-per-cup conversion as the mirror page. That keeps the forward and reverse routes numerically aligned.

It is useful when a recipe or label gives ounces by weight but prep is measured in cups. That is especially useful for baking, syrups, and dessert prep where sweetness and structure depend on repeatable weight. Granulated Sugar can vary with crystal size, moisture, and caking, so the page keeps one explicit basis instead of mixing packing styles.
