How Much Is 0.4 Tablespoons of Raw Sugar in Ounces?
0.4 tablespoons of raw sugar weighs 0.18 oz. This is based on raw 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 0.4 tablespoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.4 tablespoons of raw sugar
- 1 tablespoon of raw sugar = 12.5g
- 0.4 × 12.5 = 5g
- Convert grams to ounces: 5 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.18 oz
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).

Understanding the Units
What is a Tablespoon?
A tablespoon is roughly the volume of a large soup spoon. In precise terms, 1 US tablespoon equals 14.787 ml, which is very close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most of the world. Three teaspoons make one tablespoon.
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.
