How Much Is 7.2 Tablespoons of Self-Rising Flour in Grams?
7.2 tablespoons of self-rising flour weighs 54.00 g. This is based on self-rising flour having a density of 120g 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 7.2 tablespoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 7.2 tablespoons of self-rising flour
- 1 tablespoon of self-rising flour = 7.5g
- 7.2 × 7.5 = 54g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Different flour types have very different weights per cup. Always check the specific flour your recipe calls for rather than using a generic "flour" conversion.

Understanding the Units
What is a Tablespoon?

An imperial tablespoon is 17.758 ml. If your recipe comes from Australia, the larger tablespoon size can make a real difference.
What is a Gram?
Grams are the preferred unit in professional kitchens and bakeries because they allow exact recipe scaling. To double a recipe, simply double the gram values. No need to worry about how tightly an ingredient is packed into a cup.
