5.04 ounces of cashews equals 16.69 tbsp. That's 142.88g, and Cashews has a density of 137g 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 5.04 ounces of cashews
- Convert ounces to grams: 5.04 × 28.35 = 142.88g
- 1 cup of cashews = 137g
- 142.88g ÷ 137g/cup = 1.04 cups × 16 = 16.69 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
When a recipe says "1 cup nuts, chopped" vs "1 cup chopped nuts," the first means measure whole then chop. The second means chop first then measure. The weight difference can be significant.
