Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 3.75 ounces of molasses
- Convert ounces to grams: 3.75 × 28.35 = 106.31g
- 1 cup of molasses = 340g
- 106.31g ÷ 340g/cup = 0.31 cups × 16 = 5.00 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
