Cup

The cup is a unit of volume commonly used in cooking and recipe measurement in the United States and some other countries. One cup is equal to 8 fluid ounces, 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons. The cup is not an SI (International System of Units) unit, which is the modern form of the metric system. However, it is still widely used in the United States and other countries, especially in home cooking and recipe sharing. In some cases, recipes may call for fractions of a cup, such as 1/2 cup or 1/4 cup. To measure these amounts accurately, it is important to use a measuring cup specifically marked with those fractions.

Tablespoon

A tablespoon is a unit of volume commonly used in cooking. A tablespoon is often abbreviated as "tbsp". One tablespoon is equivalent to 1/16th of a cup or 0.5 fluid ounces in the United States.

The table below shows the equivalent measurements of 1 to 10 cups in fluid ounces, tablespoons, and teaspoons. Each row represents one cup, and each column shows the measurement equivalent in a different unit. The table can be useful for converting recipes that call for measurements in cups to other units or vice versa. For example, if a recipe calls for 1/2 cup of milk, you can use this table to determine that you need 4 fluid ounces, 8 tablespoons or 24 teaspoons of milk instead.
