Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 7.09 grams of margarine
- 1 cup of margarine = 227g
- 7.09g ÷ 227g/cup = 0.03 cups × 16 = 0.50 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Margarine and butter have the same weight per cup (227g) by industry convention, so they are interchangeable by volume in most recipes.

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?
A tablespoon (tbsp) is a US customary unit of volume equal to 14.787 milliliters, 3 teaspoons, or 1/16 of a cup. It is commonly used for measuring smaller amounts of ingredients.
