Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 220g/cup = cups
  1. Start with 6.35 ounces of brown sugar
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 6.35 × 28.35 = 180.02g
  3. 1 cup of brown sugar = 220g
  4. 180.02g ÷ 220g/cup = 0.82 cups

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 an Ounce?

Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.

What is a Cup?

The US cup (236.588 ml) is slightly smaller than the metric cup used in Australia and some other countries (250 ml). When following recipes from different countries, check which cup standard is being used.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 0.82 cups, based on brown sugar having a density of 220g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
First convert ounces to grams (1 ounce = 28.3495g), then divide by 220 (grams per cup). For 6.35 ounces: 6.35 × 28.3495 = 180.02g, then 180.02 ÷ 220 = 0.82 cups.
For the most accurate results, weigh brown sugar on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, pack it firmly into the measuring cup and level it off. This conversion assumes packed brown sugar, which is the standard method.
Brown sugar should be firmly packed into the measuring cup. This is the standard method and what this conversion assumes. Loosely measured brown sugar will weigh significantly less.
Reverse the conversion: 0.82 cups × 220g/cup = 180.02g, then 180.02g ÷ 28.3495 = 6.35 ounces. Or use the Cups to Ounces converter.
