Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 5.1 ounces of condensed milk
- Convert ounces to grams: 5.1 × 28.35 = 144.58g
- 1 cup of condensed milk = 306g
- 144.58g ÷ 306g/cup = 0.47 cups × 16 = 7.56 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.
