12 ounces of ginger (ground) equals 56.70 tbsp. That's 340.19g, and Ginger (ground) has a density of 96g per cup. Because ounces measure weight and tablespoons measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 12 ounces of ginger (ground)
- Convert ounces to grams: 12 × 28.35 = 340.19g
- 1 cup of ginger (ground) = 96g
- 340.19g ÷ 96g/cup = 3.54 cups × 16 = 56.70 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
