How Much Is 13.75 Grams of Brown Sugar in Tablespoons?
13.75 grams of brown sugar equals 1.00 tbsp. Brown sugar has a density of 220g per cup. A lighter ingredient like flour (125g/cup) would fill more volume at the same weight, which is why ingredient-specific conversions matter.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 13.75 grams of brown sugar
- 1 cup of brown sugar = 220g
- 13.75g ÷ 220g/cup = 0.06 cups × 16 = 1.00 tablespoon
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Light and dark brown sugar have the same density per cup (220g). The difference is molasses content, which affects flavor but not weight.
