How Much Is 0.08 Tablespoons of Rice (Short Grain) in Ounces?
0.08 tablespoons of rice (short grain) weighs 0.04 oz. This is based on rice (short grain) having a density of 200g 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 0.08 tablespoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.08 tablespoons of rice (short grain)
- 1 tablespoon of rice (short grain) = 12.5g
- 0.08 × 12.5 = 1g
- Convert grams to ounces: 1 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.04 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Rice expands roughly 2-3x when cooked. 1 cup of dry rice (short grain) (200g) yields approximately 3 cups cooked.

An imperial tablespoon is 17.758 ml. If your recipe comes from Australia, the larger tablespoon size can make a real difference.
