2 sticks in a cup, 1.5 is 3/4 cup.
1/2
That is approximately 1/15 of a cup.
Yeah you can. Because you can replace oils for oils and fats for fats, and shortening is both, you can use butter as it is a fat. But since butter has about 15% water, you would have to use a tiny bit less butter or a tiny bit more of dry ingredients. :)

If you put butter sticks in the freezer for 15-20 minutes, it becomes firm enough to dice. Why this would be necessary for any recipe is a curiosity.
For a rough measurement divide grams by 15 - 250 is 16.666 tablespoons.
One stick = 8 Oz(s) 16 Oz(s) = 1 Lb So 4 sticks (32 Oz) = 2 Lb This is off by a factor of 2. Yes, 16 Oz(s) = 1 L. However, there are 4 sticks in one pound of butter. Each stick therefore weighs 4, not 8 Oz. One needs 8 sticks of butter to equal 2 Lbs.
15 pints is 30 cups
there are 60 cups in 15 quarts.
Depends what the substance is. - 15 cups of flour is about 4 pounds. 15 cups of water is about 7.5 pounds. 15 cups of fine table salt could be 9 pounds -
15 oz = 1-7/8 (or 1. 875) cups
15 cups is smaller - 3.4 litres.
