5 g is about ⅝ tablespoon of all-purpose flour, about ⅜ of granulated sugar, about ⅓ of butter, or ⅓ of water. A tablespoon holds a fixed volume, so its weight depends on the ingredient.
Why is there no single answer?
Grams weigh and tablespoons measure volume. A level US tablespoon of all-purpose flour weighs 7.81 g, of granulated sugar 12.5 g, of butter 14.2 g and of water 14.8 g, so the same 5 g fills a different number of spoons.
How do I work out 5 g in tablespoons for another ingredient?
Divide 5 by what one tablespoon of it weighs, which is its grams per US cup divided by 16. For flour: 5 ÷ 7.81 = 0.64 tablespoons.
