  2. Convert ounces to grams: 12.96 × 28.35 = 367.41g
  3. 1 cup of yogurt = 245g
  4. 367.41g ÷ 245g/cup = 1.50 cups × 16 = 23.99 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?

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 (tbsp) is a US customary unit of volume equal to 14.787 milliliters, 3 teaspoons, or 1/16 of a cup. It is commonly used for measuring smaller amounts of ingredients.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 23.99 tbsp, based on yogurt 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 12.96 ounces: 12.96 × 28.3495 = 367.41g, then 367.41 ÷ 245 = 1.50 cups × 16 = 23.99 tbsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh yogurt on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring spoon and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Fat content has a small effect on density. Higher-fat versions are slightly lighter per volume because fat is less dense than water. The difference is usually under 5%, so this conversion works well for standard varieties.
Reverse the conversion: 23.99 tbsp ÷ 16 = 1.49963 cups, then 1.49963 × 245g/cup = 367.41g, then 367.41g ÷ 28.3495 = 12.96 ounces. Or use the Tablespoons to Ounces converter.
