It's bigger than the one marked "teaspoon"
A measuring cup is used to measure volumes of liquids or powders.
.65 ounces is approximately 1.3 tablespoons, since there are 2 tablespoons in an ounce. If you're using a standard measuring cup, this amount is less than 1/8 of a cup, as 1 cup equals 8 ounces. For precise measurement, using a kitchen scale or a liquid measuring cup that includes ounce markings is recommended.
I too have measured a cup of liquid with a 1 tablespoon measuring tool and I get 24 tablespoons every time. I have read that it supposed to be 16. Why is this?
Most measuring cups are in sets of 5 or 6 and are measured in teaspoons, tablespoons and ounces.
Us a measuring cup. 8 oz is 1 cup.
There are 16 Tablespoons in a cup.
One cup equals 16 Tablespoons and 1.5 cups equals 24 Tablespoons. One stick of butter equals eight Tablespoons. Three sticks equals 24 Tablespoons and therefore, three sticks equals 1.5 cups of melted butter.
To measure three fourths of a cup, you can use the 1/4th cup measuring cup. Also, sometimes one cup measuring cups have lines inside for 1/4th cup, 1/2 cup, and 3/4ths cup.
Tablespoons. 16 tablespoons in a cup. 3 teaspoons in 1 tablespoon. 1/3 cup would be 5 Tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon. If you don't have the tablespoon, use the 1/4 cup and guess at 1 and 1/2 of them. There is some margin for error in every recipe.
16 tablespoons to a cup, 8 tablespoons to half a cup
1/8 Cup is 2 Tablespoons, or 12.5% of a Cup. For memory purposes, there are 8 Tablespoons in a cube (=1/2 Cup) of butter. Then, 4 Tablespoons in 1/4 Cup, and 2 Tablespoons in 1/8 Cup (the standard Mr. Coffee size measuring spoon, which is half as big as a 1/4 Cup measure). Notice something else here, there are 4 cubes in a pound of butter, so each cube is 1/4 pound in weight (and 1/2 Cup in volume). Have you heard the aphorism "A pint's a pound the world around"? A pint is 2 Cups. Two Cups (of stuff that is roughly the same density as water) weigh a pound.
8 tablespoons are needed to make half a cup
