Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 520 tablespoons of cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon of cornmeal = 9.38g
- 520 × 9.38 = 4,875g
- Convert grams to ounces: 4,875 ÷ 28.3495 = 171.96 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Pour grains into the measuring spoon and level off. Do not shake or tap, as this settles the grains and increases the weight.
