8.89 ounces of chocolate chips equals 24.00 tbsp. Chocolate chips has a density of 168g per cup. A lighter ingredient like flour (125g/cup) would fill more volume at the same weight, which is why ingredient-specific conversions matter.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 8.89 ounces of chocolate chips
- Convert ounces to grams: 8.89 × 28.35 = 252.03g
- 1 cup of chocolate chips = 168g
- 252.03g ÷ 168g/cup = 1.50 cups × 16 = 24.00 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Measure chocolate chips before melting. Melted chocolate has a different volume than solid chips, so always measure in solid form.
