How Much Is 0.8 Tablespoons of Powdered Sugar in Ounces?
Converting 0.8 tablespoons of powdered sugar to ounces gives 0.21 oz. One tablespoon of powdered sugar weighs 7.5g, so 0.8 tablespoons is 0.8 × 7.5 = 6g (0.21 oz). This conversion is specific to powdered sugar because each ingredient has a different density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.8 tablespoons of powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar = 7.5g
- 0.8 × 7.5 = 6g
- Convert grams to ounces: 6 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.21 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Powdered sugar settles significantly during storage. Sifted powdered sugar weighs about 100g per cup compared to 120g unsifted - check whether your recipe means sifted or unsifted.
