How Much Is 0.88 Ounces of Brown Sugar in Cups?
0.88 ounces of brown sugar equals 0.11 cups. That's 24.95g, and Brown sugar has a density of 220g per cup. Because ounces measure weight and cups measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.88 ounces of brown sugar
- Convert ounces to grams: 0.88 × 28.35 = 24.95g
- 1 cup of brown sugar = 220g
- 24.95g ÷ 220g/cup = 0.11 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Brown sugar should always be firmly packed into the measuring cup. Loosely measured brown sugar can weigh 15-20% less than packed.
