Formula and Step-by-Step

tablespoons × 14.19g/tbsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces

Start with 3.52 tablespoons of butter
1 tablespoon of butter = 14.19g
3.52 × 14.19 = 49.94g
Convert grams to ounces: 49.94 ÷ 28.3495 = 1.76 oz

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

Measuring Tip

Softened butter and melted butter measure differently by volume. Melted butter settles with no air pockets, giving a slightly higher weight per cup.
