Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 167g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 5.89 ounces of semolina flour
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 5.89 × 28.35 = 166.98g
  3. 1 cup of semolina flour = 167g
  4. 166.98g ÷ 167g/cup = 1.00 cup × 16 = 16.00 tablespoons

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Understanding the Units

What is an Ounce?

Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.

What is a Tablespoon?

Tablespoon sizes differ by country. A US tablespoon is 14.787 ml, close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most countries. An Australian tablespoon is 20 ml, about 35% larger than US. An imperial tablespoon is 17.758 ml. If your recipe comes from Australia, the larger tablespoon size can make a real difference.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 16.00 tbsp, based on semolina flour having a density of 167g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
First convert ounces to grams (1 ounce = 28.3495g), then divide by 167 (grams per cup), then multiply by 16 to get tablespoons. For 5.89 ounces: 5.89 × 28.3495 = 166.98g, then 166.98 ÷ 167 = 1.00 cups × 16 = 16.00 tbsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh semolina flour on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, sift or whisk first to break up clumps, then spoon into the measuring spoon and level off. Do not scoop directly from the bag.
Yes, quite a bit. If you spoon the flour into your measuring spoon and level it off, you will get about 167 grams per cup. If you dip directly into the flour bag and sweep level, the flour packs tighter and you can end up with 183.7 to 208.75 grams per cup instead. This conversion uses the spoon-and-level method, which is the standard most baking references follow.
Reverse the conversion: 16.00 tbsp ÷ 16 = 0.999872 cups, then 0.999872 × 167g/cup = 166.98g, then 166.98g ÷ 28.3495 = 5.89 ounces. Or use the Tablespoons to Ounces converter.
