How Much Is 0.8 Tablespoons of Raw Sugar in Grams?
Converting 0.8 tablespoons of raw sugar to grams gives 10.00 g. One tablespoon of raw sugar weighs 12.5g, so 0.8 tablespoons is 0.8 × 12.5 = 10g. This conversion is specific to raw sugar because each ingredient has a different density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.8 tablespoons of raw sugar
- 1 tablespoon of raw sugar = 12.5g
- 0.8 × 12.5 = 10g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Raw sugar weighs 200g per cup. Different sugar types have different densities, so always use the specific type your recipe calls for.

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.
