2.26 ounces of chili powder equals 8.01 tbsp. That's 64.07g, and Chili powder has a density of 128g 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 2.26 ounces of chili powder
- Convert ounces to grams: 2.26 × 28.35 = 64.07g
- 1 cup of chili powder = 128g
- 64.07g ÷ 128g/cup = 0.50 cups × 16 = 8.01 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Ground spices like chili powder settle and compact during storage. Stir or fluff before measuring by volume for a consistent amount.
