There are 4 US tablespoons in 2 oz. One tablespoon is equivalent to a 1/2 ounce. There are also 4 tablespoons in 2 oz when using a metric tablespoon that is used in the UK and other Commonwealth countries.
The above answer was calculated based on fluid ounces or liquid measurements as they are more constant while the equivalent of 2 oz of powder or solid ingredients to tablespoons depends on the ingredient being measured.
For example, 2 oz of flour makes 7 1/4 tablespoons, 2 oz of sugar is equal to 4 1/2 tablespoons, 2 oz of melted butter is 4 tablespoons, etc.
Different ingredients have different masses for numerous reasons such as moisture, compaction, etc.
Measurement precision is more important when baking (if you want it to be perfect) than when cooking as it gives room for mistakes and miscalculations while being able to have a good outcome
An ounce is a weight measurement (measured by a weigh scale) while a teaspoon is a volume measurement (measured by the size of the container). Hence, there is a probability of mismeasuring the exact 2 oz when using a measuring tablespoon.
To be more accurate, you need to know the ingredient being converted to teaspoons and not just interchange 4 tablespoons for all ingredients
