How Much Is 0.8 Tablespoons of Rice (Short Grain) in Grams?
0.8 tablespoons of rice (short grain) weighs 10.00 g. This is based on rice (short grain) having a density of 200g 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 0.8 tablespoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.8 tablespoons of rice (short grain)
- 1 tablespoon of rice (short grain) = 12.5g
