This is the level US tablespoon of 14.8 ml. The metric tablespoon of 15 ml (UK, New Zealand, Canada) is 1.4 % larger and takes 3.08 tablespoons; the Australian tablespoon of 20 ml is 35.3 % larger, so the same weight fills only 2.31 tablespoons of those.
How 39 grams of granulated sugar was converted to tablespoons
A tablespoon is a volume, so its weight depends on the ingredient. One US tablespoon of granulated sugar weighs 12.5 grams (twelve point five), so divide 39 by 12.5.
39 g ÷ 12.5 g
=3.12 tablespoons
(three point one two tablespoons)
The weight of the tablespoon comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 169655 “Sugars, granulated”, portion “1 cup” = 200 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.
