Formula and Step-by-Step

tablespoons × 9.06g/tbsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 0.55 tablespoons of raisins
  2. 1 tablespoon of raisins = 9.06g
  3. 0.55 × 9.06 = 4.98g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 4.98 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.18 oz

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

Measuring Tip

Understanding the Units

What is a Tablespoon?

Tablespoon sizes differ by country. A US tablespoon is 14.787 ml, close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most countries. An Australian tablespoon is 20 ml, about 35% larger than US. An imperial tablespoon is 17.758 ml. If your recipe comes from Australia, the larger tablespoon size can make a real difference.

What is an Ounce?

Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 0.18 oz, based on raisins having a density of 145g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of tablespoons by 9.06 (grams per tablespoon for raisins), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 0.55 tablespoons: 0.55 × 9.06 = 4.98g, then 4.98 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.18 oz.
For the most accurate results, weigh raisins on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, fill the measuring spoon loosely and level off without pressing down. Whole and chopped pieces give different weights per measuring spoon.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
Reverse the conversion: 0.18 oz × 28.3495 = 4.98g, then 4.98g ÷ 9.06 = 0.55 tablespoons. Or use the Ounces to Tablespoons converter.
