Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 245g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 18.26 ounces of tomato sauce
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 18.26 × 28.35 = 517.66g
  3. 1 cup of tomato sauce = 245g
  4. 517.66g ÷ 245g/cup = 2.11 cups × 16 = 33.81 tablespoons

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

Measuring Tip

Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.

Understanding the Units

What is an Ounce?

Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.

What is a Tablespoon?

A tablespoon is roughly the volume of a large soup spoon. In precise terms, 1 US tablespoon equals 14.787 ml, which is very close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most of the world. Three teaspoons make one tablespoon.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 33.81 tbsp, based on tomato sauce having a density of 245g 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 245 (grams per cup), then multiply by 16 to get tablespoons. For 18.26 ounces: 18.26 × 28.3495 = 517.66g, then 517.66 ÷ 245 = 2.11 cups × 16 = 33.81 tbsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh tomato sauce on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, use a liquid measuring spoon on a flat surface and read the level at eye height.
Temperature has a minimal effect on most cooking liquids. The density of tomato sauce changes slightly with temperature, but the difference is usually less than 1-2% between refrigerator and room temperature. This conversion assumes room temperature.
Reverse the conversion: 33.81 tbsp ÷ 16 = 2.11291 cups, then 2.11291 × 245g/cup = 517.66g, then 517.66g ÷ 28.3495 = 18.26 ounces. Or use the Tablespoons to Ounces converter.
