How Much Is 2.72 Tablespoons of Raw Sugar in Ounces?
2.72 tablespoons of raw sugar weighs 1.20 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 2.72 tablespoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2.72 tablespoons of raw sugar
- 1 tablespoon of raw sugar = 12.5g
- 2.72 × 12.5 = 34g
- Convert grams to ounces: 34 ÷ 28.3495 = 1.20 oz
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 an Ounce?
An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.
