Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 220 ounces of cornmeal
- Convert ounces to grams: 220 × 28.35 = 6,236.90g
- 1 cup of cornmeal = 150g
- 6,236.90g ÷ 150g/cup = 41.58 cups × 16 = 665.27 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
