How Much Is 80 Tablespoons of Raw Sugar in Ounces?
80 tablespoons of raw sugar weighs 35.27 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 80 tablespoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 80 tablespoons of raw sugar
- 1 tablespoon of raw sugar = 12.5g
- 80 × 12.5 = 1,000g
- Convert grams to ounces: 1,000 ÷ 28.3495 = 35.27 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).
Raw Sugar at Different Amounts

Understanding the Units
What is a Tablespoon?
Tablespoon sizes differ by country. A US tablespoon is 14.787 ml, close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most countries. An Australian tablespoon is 20 ml, about 35% larger than US. An imperial tablespoon is 17.758 ml. If your recipe comes from Australia, the larger tablespoon size can make a real difference.
What is an Ounce?
Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.
