How to convert cups (us) to tablespoons
Cups and tablespoons are both US customary kitchen measures, with exactly 16 tablespoons in 1 US cup. This is an exact conversion within the same measurement system — no approximation needed.
Multiply cups by 16 to get tablespoons. Formula: tbsp = cups × 16. 1 cup = 16 tbsp. 0.5 cup = 8 tbsp. 0.25 cup = 4 tbsp.
Scaling recipes up or down, converting partial cup amounts to spoon measures when lacking a cup measure, and reading recipes that mix units all use this relationship. A ¾ cup measure = 12 tablespoons.
Since 1 tbsp = 3 tsp, 1 cup = 48 teaspoons. 1 cup = 8 fl oz = 236.588 mL.
