How Much Is 0.89 Tablespoons of Granulated Sugar in Ounces?
0.89 tablespoons of granulated sugar weighs 0.39 oz. This is based on granulated sugar having a density of 200g per cup. Because tablespoons measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 0.89 tablespoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.89 tablespoons of granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar = 12.5g
- 0.89 × 12.5 = 11.13g
- Convert grams to ounces: 11.13 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.39 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Granulated 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).

Understanding the Units
What is a Tablespoon?
A tablespoon (tbsp) is a US customary unit of volume equal to 14.787 milliliters, 3 teaspoons, or 1/16 of a cup. It is commonly used for measuring smaller amounts of ingredients.
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.
