How Much Is 246 Tablespoons of Cornmeal in Ounces?
246 tablespoons of cornmeal weighs 81.35 oz. This is based on cornmeal having a density of 150g per cup. Because tablespoons measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 246 tablespoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 246 tablespoons of cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon of cornmeal = 9.38g
- 246 × 9.38 = 2,306.25g
- Convert grams to ounces: 2,306.25 ÷ 28.3495 = 81.35 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Understanding the Units
What is a Tablespoon?
A tablespoon is roughly the volume of a large soup spoon. In precise terms, 1 US tablespoon equals 14.787 ml, which is very close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most of the world. Three teaspoons make one tablespoon.
What is an Ounce?
Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.
