Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 12.01 ounces of margarine
- Convert ounces to grams: 12.01 × 28.35 = 340.48g
- 1 cup of margarine = 227g
- 340.48g ÷ 227g/cup = 1.5 cups × 16 = 24.00 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Tub margarine should be spooned into the measuring spoon and leveled off. It is softer than stick margarine and packs differently.
