The question "how many cups is 1" is incomplete, but based on common conversions involving "1," here are some relevant clarifications:

• If you mean 1 ounce (fluid ounce), it equals 1/8 cup in US measurements

• If you mean 1 pint, it equals 2 cups

• If you mean 1 pound (weight), it generally equals about 2 cups for many dry ingredients, but this depends on ingredient density

• If you mean 1 gallon, it equals 16 US cups

If you specify the unit you want to convert to cups, I can provide a precise answer.
