How Much Is 7.2 Tablespoons of Coconut Sugar in Grams?
7.2 tablespoons of coconut sugar weighs 81.00 g. This is based on coconut sugar having a density of 180g per cup. Because tablespoons measure volume and grams measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 7.2 tablespoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 7.2 tablespoons of coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon of coconut sugar = 11.25g
- 7.2 × 11.25 = 81g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Sugar is one of the easier dry ingredients to measure by volume because the crystals pack relatively consistently compared to flour or cocoa powder.

Understanding the Units
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.
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.
