How Much Is 1.48 Ounces of Baking Soda in Tablespoons?
1.48 ounces of baking soda equals 3.05 tbsp. That's 41.96g, and Baking soda has a density of 220g per cup. Because ounces measure weight and tablespoons measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.48 ounces of baking soda
- Convert ounces to grams: 1.48 × 28.35 = 41.96g
- 1 cup of baking soda = 220g
- 41.96g ÷ 220g/cup = 0.19 cups × 16 = 3.05 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Baking powder loses potency over time. If yours is more than 6 months old, test it: drop a teaspoon into hot water. If it bubbles vigorously, it is still active.
