How to Convert Tablespoons to Pounds

To convert a measurement in tablespoons to a measurement in pounds, divide the butter by the following conversion ratio: 32 tablespoons/pound.

Since one pound of butter is equal to 32 tablespoons, you can use this simple formula to convert:

pounds = tablespoons ÷ 32

The butter in pounds is equal to the butter in tablespoons divided by 32.

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

pounds = (5 tbsp ÷ 32) = 0.15625 lb
