Understanding the Units

What is an Ounce?

Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.

What is a Tablespoon?

One tablespoon holds about 15 milliliters. There are 16 tablespoons in a cup and 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon. In baking, tablespoon measurements are used for butter, oil, honey, and other ingredients where a full cup would be too much.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 2.77 tbsp, based on cream of tartar having a density of 144g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
First convert ounces to grams (1 ounce = 28.3495g), then divide by 144 (grams per cup), then multiply by 16 to get tablespoons. For 0.88 ounces: 0.88 × 28.3495 = 24.95g, then 24.95 ÷ 144 = 0.17 cups × 16 = 2.77 tbsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh cream of tartar on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring spoon and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
Reverse the conversion: 2.77 tbsp ÷ 16 = 0.173247 cups, then 0.173247 × 144g/cup = 24.95g, then 24.95g ÷ 28.3495 = 0.88 ounces. Or use the Tablespoons to Ounces converter.
