7.5 tblsp. A tablespoon is equivalent to 0.5 liquid ounces so there are 2 tablespoons in 1 ounce. There are two different ounces, ounces of weight/mass and ounces of volume (fluid). This can change when you are using the tablespoon to measure a non-liquid such as flour or sugar since the weight of dry items is not the same as their volume. An ounce of volume is called a "fluid ounce." A tablespoon measures volume not weight. In order to convert tablespoons or teaspoons to ounces or back, You need to know what is being measured. A spoon of lettuce will weigh different than a spoon of gold in solid ounces.

Depends on what you are measuring. ALSO We never should use the term Dry Ounces. The terms to use are 'Fluid Ounces' for liquid measure , and 'Weight Ounces' for Solids or Powders. Be aware that different substances have different Densities, and so they occupy different amounts of volume. An Ounce of Sticky brown Sugar will occupy more Tablespoons than an Ounce of Cinnamon powder; is a good example.
Always name the substance you are talking about when weighing or measuring substances. Also, say what country you live in because USA ounces are different to Ounces in the rest of the world . I live in Australia where we always use Litres and Kilogram etc.
I agree, but I think you may have that backwards, an ounce of sticky brown sugar will occupy far less tablespoons than an ounce of cinnamon powder. It would be much easier if we all switched to grams and kilos, but here in the US people are content to use cup measures. I have found that weight measures and liquid measures always work better in recipes. Cheers!
Depends what the "dry " goods are. - Flour is dry, salt is dry - widely differing weights.
Depends on the product, but usually between 2-3 tablespoons.
- Specify a product and I will tell you exactly .
That depends WHAT the dry ingredient is . ie Salt will be a little less than 2 tbsp, mixed herbs may be 3-3.5 tbsp. Some dry ingredients are very dense, some are not dense at all.
