Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 245g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 2.85 ounces of yogurt
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 2.85 × 28.35 = 80.80g
  3. 1 cup of yogurt = 245g
  4. 80.80g ÷ 245g/cup = 0.33 cups × 16 = 5.28 tablespoons

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

Measuring Tip

Yogurt weighs 245g per cup. Spoon it into the measuring spoon without pressing down too firmly.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 5.28 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 2.85 ounces: 2.85 × 28.3495 = 80.80g, then 80.80 ÷ 245 = 0.33 cups × 16 = 5.28 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: 5.28 tbsp ÷ 16 = 0.32978 cups, then 0.32978 × 245g/cup = 80.80g, then 80.80g ÷ 28.3495 = 2.85 ounces. Or use the Tablespoons to Ounces converter.
