How Much Is 2.68 Ounces of Raw Sugar in Tablespoons?
2.68 ounces of raw sugar equals 6.08 tbsp. That's 75.98g, and Raw sugar has a density of 200g per cup. Because ounces measure weight and tablespoons measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2.68 ounces of raw sugar
- Convert ounces to grams: 2.68 × 28.35 = 75.98g
- 1 cup of raw sugar = 200g
- 75.98g ÷ 200g/cup = 0.38 cups × 16 = 6.08 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Raw sugar should be spooned into the measuring spoon and leveled off. Do not pack it unless the recipe specifically says to (packing is only standard for brown sugar).
