How Much Is 2.7 Tablespoons of Corn Syrup in Grams?
2.7 tablespoons of corn syrup weighs 55.35 g. This is based on corn syrup having a density of 328g per cup. Because tablespoons measure volume and grams measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 2.7 tablespoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2.7 tablespoons of corn syrup
- 1 tablespoon of corn syrup = 20.5g
- 2.7 × 20.5 = 55.35g
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 a Tablespoon?
One tablespoon holds about 15 milliliters. There are 16 tablespoons in a cup and 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon. In baking, tablespoon measurements are used for butter, oil, honey, and other ingredients where a full cup would be too much.
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
