Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 4.97 ounces of mayonnaise
- Convert ounces to grams: 4.97 × 28.35 = 140.90g
- 1 cup of mayonnaise = 220g
- 140.90g ÷ 220g/cup = 0.64 cups × 16 = 10.25 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
