How Much Is 120 Teaspoons of Powdered Sugar in Ounces?
Converting 120 teaspoons of powdered sugar to ounces gives 10.58 oz. One teaspoon of powdered sugar weighs 2.5g, so 120 teaspoons is 120 × 2.5 = 300g (10.58 oz). This conversion is specific to powdered sugar because each ingredient has a different density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 120 teaspoons of powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon of powdered sugar = 2.5g
- 120 × 2.5 = 300g
- Convert grams to ounces: 300 ÷ 28.3495 = 10.58 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Powdered sugar clumps easily. Sift before measuring by volume, or weigh to avoid the sifted-vs-unsifted ambiguity entirely.
