Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 21.61 ounces of coconut oil
- Convert ounces to grams: 21.61 × 28.35 = 612.63g
- 1 cup of coconut oil = 218g
- 612.63g ÷ 218g/cup = 2.81 cups × 16 = 44.96 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.
