How Much Is 880 Grams of Brown Sugar in Tablespoons?
880 grams of brown sugar equals 64.00 tbsp. Brown sugar has a density of 220g per cup. Because grams measure weight and tablespoons measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 880 grams of brown sugar
- 1 cup of brown sugar = 220g
- 880g ÷ 220g/cup = 4 cups × 16 = 64.00 tablespoons
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.

Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
What is a Tablespoon?
One tablespoon holds about 15 milliliters. There are 16 tablespoons in a cup and 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon. In baking, tablespoon measurements are used for butter, oil, honey, and other ingredients where a full cup would be too much.
