How many tablespoons is 1.5 grams?
Answer
A tablespoon measures volume and grams measure weight, so 1.5 grams of different ingredients fills a different number of tablespoons. The table gives all 23 of them, with the packed, sifted and cooked states on rows of their own, each from the USDA FoodData Central weight of one US cup ÷ 16 — one US tablespoon (14.8 ml) is 1/16 of a US cup — or of one US teaspoon × 3 for baking powder, baking soda, active dry yeast and ground cinnamon; water is counted from its volume.

How 1.5 grams of butter was converted to tablespoons
A tablespoon is a volume, so its weight depends on the ingredient. One US tablespoon of butter weighs 14.2 grams (fourteen point two), so divide 1.5 by 14.1875.
1.5 g ÷ 14.1875 g
≈0.11 tablespoons
(zero point one one tablespoons)
The weight of the tablespoon comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 173430 “Butter, without salt”, portion “1 cup” = 227 grams, and 1 US cup = 16 US tablespoons. Scooped ingredients vary with how they are filled — spooned in lightly, a tablespoon weighs less; packed down, more — so for baking a kitchen scale is the exact tool and this figure the standard reference.
The other way round: how many grams in a tablespoon
This page starts from grams and answers in tablespoons. The opposite question — how many grams a recipe’s tablespoons weigh, fractions like 1/2 and 2 1/2 included — is what the tablespoons to grams converter is for. Both read the same USDA weights, so their numbers agree: one US tablespoon of butter is 14.2 grams there and here.
