Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 12 ounces of wheat bran
- Convert ounces to grams: 12 × 28.35 = 340.19g
- 1 cup of wheat bran = 58g
- 340.19g ÷ 58g/cup = 5.87 cups × 16 = 93.85 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
