Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 16.51 ounces of maple syrup
- Convert ounces to grams: 16.51 × 28.35 = 468.05g
- 1 cup of maple syrup = 312g
- 468.05g ÷ 312g/cup = 1.50 cups × 16 = 24.00 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
