How to Calculate & Formula Details

Mathematical Model Formula1 cup = 236.588 mL = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons. Gram conversions vary by ingredient density.

A cooking converter helps home bakers and chefs switch between volume measurements (cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, milliliters) and approximate weight in grams for common ingredients.

Volume Conversions

1 cup = 236.588 mL = 16 tablespoons
1 tablespoon = 14.7868 mL = 3 teaspoons
1 teaspoon = 4.92892 mL

Note on Gram Conversions

Converting volume to grams is approximate because ingredient density varies — 1 cup of flour weighs roughly 120g, while 1 cup of sugar weighs roughly 200g. Always note that gram conversions are estimates.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many tablespoons are in a cup?

There are 16 tablespoons in one US cup.

Why are gram conversions approximate?

Different ingredients have different densities — a cup of flour weighs less than a cup of sugar or water — so volume-to-weight conversions are estimates based on typical ingredient density.

How many mL are in a tablespoon?

One US tablespoon equals approximately 14.79 milliliters.
