About Converting Grams per Cup to Grams per Tablespoon
Gram per Cup and Gram per Tablespoon both measure density — mass per unit volume — a property used to identify materials, check manufacturing quality, and predict whether something floats or sinks. As a fixed reference point, water has a density of exactly 1000 kg/m³ (1 g/cm³, 1 g/mL) at its temperature of maximum density, which is why many density figures in science and engineering are quoted relative to water. Both are mass per volume density units.
Formula
grams per tablespoon = grams per cup × 0.0625
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 gram per cup equals 4.22675283773 base units, and 1 gram per tablespoon equals 67.6280454037 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct gram per cup-to-gram per tablespoon factor of 0.0625.
Simple example
1 g/cup × 0.0625 = 0.0625 g/tbsp
1 gram per cup = 0.0625 grams per tablespoon.
Real-world example
1,000 g/cup × 0.0625 = 62.5 g/tbsp
1,000 grams per cup = 62.5 grams per tablespoon.

Frequently asked questions
How many grams per tablespoon are in 1 gram per cup?
1 gram per cup equals 0.0625 grams per tablespoon, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert gram per cup to gram per tablespoon?
Multiply the gram per cup value by 0.0625. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert gram per tablespoon back to gram per cup?
Use the reverse factor: 1 gram per tablespoon equals 16 grams per cup. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a gram per cup?
Gram per Cup (g/cup) is a unit of density.
What is a gram per tablespoon?
Gram per Tablespoon (g/tbsp) is a unit of density.
Is the gram per cup to gram per tablespoon conversion exact?
Yes. Both gram per cup and gram per tablespoon are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.0625 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between density and mass concentration?
Density is the mass of a pure substance or material per unit volume. Mass concentration is the mass of one component — like a dissolved solute — within a mixture's total volume. The two use the same kind of units but describe different physical situations.
