Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 155g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 116.25 grams of garlic powder
  2. 1 cup of garlic powder = 155g
  3. 116.25g ÷ 155g/cup = 0.75 cups × 16 = 12.00 tablespoons

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

Garlic powder weighs 155g per cup. For small amounts, the difference between a level and heaped measuring spoon can change the flavor noticeably.

Understanding the Units

What is a Gram?

Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 12.00 tbsp, based on garlic powder having a density of 155g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Divide the grams by 155 (grams per cup) to get cups, then multiply by 16 to get tablespoons. For 116.25 grams: 116.25 ÷ 155 = 0.75 cups × 16 = 12.00 tbsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh garlic powder on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring spoon and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
Reverse the conversion: 12.00 tbsp ÷ 16 = 0.75 cups, then 0.75 × 155g/cup = 116.25g. Or use the Tablespoons to Grams converter.
