How 5 tablespoons of all-purpose flour was converted to grams
One US tablespoon of all-purpose flour weighs 7.81 grams (seven point eight one), so multiply 5 by 7.8125.
5 × 7.8125 g
≈39.1 grams
(thirty-nine point one grams)
The weight of the tablespoon comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 168894 “Wheat flour, white, all-purpose, enriched, bleached”, portion “1 cup” = 125 grams, and 1 US cup = 16 US tablespoons.
