Tomato paste is sold by weight, not by volume. Since tomato paste is denser than water, the volume of 6 oz. of tomato paste is going to be less than 6 fl. oz. A 6 oz. can of tomato paste contains approximately 10 tablespoons, based on the nutritional information label on the can. A serving is 2 tablespoons. Since there are approximately 5 servings, that equals approximately 10.
According the the nutritional information on Hunts tomato paste, a serving size is 2 tbsp and there are about 5 servings per can.
So, about 10.
To substitute tomato sauce for 6 oz tomato paste, reduce the amount of water or other liquid in the recipe by about half a cup and use 1 cup of tomato sauce.
A #6 can of tomatoes is about 108 ounces, according to one recipe I found. Tomato sauce would be a little bit different, but it might give you a place to start.
