The answer given assumes the questioner was asking about volume (fluid ounces), not weight (ounces avoirdupois).
1.5 cups = 12 fluid oz. but not necessarily (and probably not) 12 oz. avoirdupois.
1 pound = 16 ounces
Six ounces = 170.1 g
13.8 gm ((packed) Slight variation between light and dark))
That is 3/4 of a cup.
288 grams is 10.16 ounces.
That is about 0.9 cup
2 cups.
! cup of brown sugar weighs 6 ounces or 170 grams. Hope it helps. Wendye
ahh really depends. you have to count the brown sugar grain by grain. normally when im doing this i listen to the song "brown sugar" by the rolling stones.
1 pound brown SUGAR = 2 1/4 packed cups, so 2 pounds brown sugar = 4 1/2 cups? as found here: http://mdmetric.com/tech/kitchen.htm
One cup is 8 ounces. 1 pound of sugar is 2 cups.
Regardless of what is being measured, 8 oz is equal to 1 cup. True, if it's fluid ounces. If ounces are weight, it's not the same - a cup of lead and a cup of sugar can't both weigh 8 oz. This is yet another problem with using these archaic measurements rather than metric. So first determine whether the 8 oz means volume (then it's a cup) or weight (use a kitchen scale).
