Tomato paste is dense: 262 g a cup, 66 g in ¼ cup and 16 g in a tablespoon. A standard 6-ounce can holds 170 g, about ⅔ cup.

Where this number comes from

USDA FoodData Central lists 1 cup of “Tomato products, canned, paste, without salt added (Includes foods for USDA's Food Distribution Program)” at 262 g (FDC ID 170459, SR Legacy).

Everything else is worked out from that figure: spoons from 1 cup = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons, and ounces and pounds from their exact definitions (1 oz = 28.349523125 g, 1 lb = 453.59237 g, NIST).
