1 ounce equals how many tablespoons?

• A. 4 tablespoons
• B. 2 tablespoons
• C. 1 tablespoon
• D. 3 tablespoons

Answer: (B)

Converting fluid measurements is what this tests. In US cooking units, 1 fluid ounce is equal to 2 tablespoons. You can see it by noting that 1 cup equals 8 fluid ounces and also equals 16 tablespoons; 16 divided by 8 gives 2 tablespoons per ounce. So one fluid ounce of liquid equals two tablespoons. If you’re measuring a dry ingredient by weight (an ounce as a weight), there isn’t a fixed number of tablespoons because density varies.
