Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 17.64 ounces of paprika
- Convert ounces to grams: 17.64 × 28.35 = 500.09g
- 1 cup of paprika = 110g
- 500.09g ÷ 110g/cup = 4.55 cups × 16 = 72.74 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
