8 ounces of self-rising flour equals 30.24 tbsp. That's 226.80g, and Self-rising flour has a density of 120g per cup. Because ounces measure weight and tablespoons measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 8 ounces of self-rising flour
- Convert ounces to grams: 8 × 28.35 = 226.80g
- 1 cup of self-rising flour = 120g
- 226.80g ÷ 120g/cup = 1.89 cups × 16 = 30.24 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
