How Much Is 9.76 Tablespoons of Molasses in Ounces?
9.76 tablespoons of molasses weighs 7.32 oz. This is based on molasses having a density of 340g 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 9.76 tablespoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 9.76 tablespoons of molasses
- 1 tablespoon of molasses = 21.25g
- 9.76 × 21.25 = 207.4g
- Convert grams to ounces: 207.4 ÷ 28.3495 = 7.32 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
For liquids, place your measuring spoon on a flat surface and read at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus (the curve at the surface) should align with the measurement line.

Understanding the Units
What is a Tablespoon?
A tablespoon (tbsp) is a US customary unit of volume equal to 14.787 milliliters, 3 teaspoons, or 1/16 of a cup. It is commonly used for measuring smaller amounts of ingredients.
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.
