Ounce to Tablespoon (How many tablespoons in an ounce?)

A fluid ounce is an imperial and US customary volume unit abbreviated as "fl. oz." A tablespoon is a volume unit commonly used in cooking recipes. There are various types of tablespoons that are used as measurement unit and are available in different sizes. Their standards of measurements will also vary depending on the volume or capacity. For example, one US tablespoon is approximately 15 milliliters and 0.5 fluid ounces while a single tablespoon in Australia is about 20 ml.

Conversions

1 ounce [fluid US] = 2 Tablespoons/ 3 Dessert Spoons [US]

1 ounce [fluid UK] = 1.6 Tablespoons/ 2.4 Dessert Spoons [UK]

 If you want to determine the number of tablespoons in ounces, you will multiply the value by the conversion factor. You can also use the converter to carry out any conversions between US fluid oz. and tablespoon.

For example; If we want to determine the number of tablespoons available in a quarter (1/4) US liquid ounce, you will multiply the value in fluid ounces by the conversion factor. It can be expressed mathematically as;

¼ x 2 = 0.5 (1/2) tablespoon [US]

If you are using the conversion factor in the UK standard, the calculation will be;

¼ x 1.6 = 0.4 (2/5) tablespoon [UK]

1tsp. [UK] = 0.48037996817149 Oz. [US, liquid]

Example

Convert 20 ounces [US, liquid] to tablespoon [UK]

Formula

1tsp. [UK] = 0.48037996817149 Oz. [US, liquid]
