Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 240g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 42.33 ounces of light cream
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 42.33 × 28.35 = 1,200.04g
  3. 1 cup of light cream = 240g
  4. 1,200.04g ÷ 240g/cup = 5.00 cups × 16 = 80.00 tablespoons

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

For liquids, place your measuring spoon on a flat surface and read at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus (the curve at the surface) should align with the measurement line.

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?

A tablespoon (tbsp) is a US customary unit of volume equal to 14.787 milliliters, 3 teaspoons, or 1/16 of a cup. It is commonly used for measuring smaller amounts of ingredients.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 80.00 tbsp, based on light cream having a density of 240g 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 240 (grams per cup), then multiply by 16 to get tablespoons. For 42.33 ounces: 42.33 × 28.3495 = 1,200.04g, then 1,200.04 ÷ 240 = 5.00 cups × 16 = 80.00 tbsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh light cream on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, use a liquid measuring spoon on a flat surface and read the level at eye height.
Temperature has a minimal effect on most cooking liquids. The density of light cream changes slightly with temperature, but the difference is usually less than 1-2% between refrigerator and room temperature. This conversion assumes room temperature.
Reverse the conversion: 80.00 tbsp ÷ 16 = 5.00015 cups, then 5.00015 × 240g/cup = 1,200.04g, then 1,200.04g ÷ 28.3495 = 42.33 ounces. Or use the Tablespoons to Ounces converter.
