This logic is based on the butter being in liquid (melted) form.

1 pound of butter contains 4 sticks with a total weight of 16 oz.

If 1 pound contains 4 quarters (4 sticks).

Then 16 oz. divided by 4 equals 4 oz. per quarter (or per stick of butter).

If 1 oz. = 2 tablespoons

And 1 stick has 4 oz.

Then 4 oz. X 2 tablespoons per oz.

EQUALS 8 tablespoons per stick

This logic is not correct. Two different kinds of ounces involved. Weight and volume. Unfortunately an ounce is not an ounce. Imagine your two tablespoons are full of butter. Then take two full of melted gold. One is much heavier than the other.
