Does anyone know how much 1 oz is?

In this case, 1 oz. equals 2 tablespoons, so 2 ounces would equal 4 tablespoons.
With cream cheese, I find it easier to measure by the ounce than the tablespoon. ;)

Is it mass or volume its asking for? An ounce is 28.35g (mass)
I know there's 8 oz in a cup (250mL), so there for an oz would be 31.25mL

Thanks!!! I buy my cream cheese whipped and I never could figure that ounce thing out!!! :rolleyes:

Having the cream cheese whipped makes a bit of difference since the whipping adds air to the cream cheese, so 1 oz. could be a lot more than 2 tablespoons and would probably be more like 3 or 4 tablespoons by weight.

2 ounces = 1/4 cup= 4 tablespoons= 60 ml

Step by step...
 
Okay...

There are 8 ounces of whipped cream cheese in the container.
1 serving is equal to 2 tablespoons.
There are 11 servings per container.
11 servings x 2 tablespoons = 22 tablespoons
There are 22 tablespoons of cream cheese in the container
8 ounces divided by 22 tablespoons = 0.36 ounces per tbsp.
Each tablespoon = 0.36 ounces
1 ounce divided by 0.36 = 2.7
2.7 tablespoons of cream cheese = 1 oz.

*phew* ;)
