Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 8.96 ounces of all-purpose flour
- Convert ounces to grams: 8.96 × 28.35 = 254.01g
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour = 125.16g
- 254.01g ÷ 125.16g/cup = 2.03 cups × 16 = 32.47 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
