How to Convert Fluid Ounces to Tablespoons

To convert a measurement in fluid ounces to a measurement in tablespoons, multiply the volume by the following conversion ratio: 2 tablespoons/fluid ounce.

Since one fluid ounce is equal to 2 tablespoons, you can use this simple formula to convert:

tablespoons = fluid ounces × 2

The volume in tablespoons is equal to the volume in fluid ounces multiplied by 2.

For example, here's how to convert 5 fluid ounces to tablespoons using the formula above.

tablespoons = (5 fl oz × 2) = 10 tbsp

How Many Tablespoons Are in a Fluid Ounce?
