There are 2 tablespoons in 1/8 cup
- 1/8 cup = 2 tbsp
- 1/4 cup = 4 tbsp
- 1/3 cup = 5 1/3 tbsp
- 1/2 cup = 8 tbsp
- 2/3 cup = 10 2/3 tbsp
- 3/4 cup = 12 tbsp
- 1 cup = 16 tbsp
Now, let's find out how to convert fractional cups to tablespoons.
How to Convert 1/8 Cup to Tablespoons
To calculate how many tablespoons are in 1/8 U.S. cup, you need to multiply the volume in cups by the conversion ratio of 16 tablespoons/cup.
One cup is equal to 16 tablespoons, so this is the formula to convert fractional cups:
tablespoons = cups × 16
The volume in tablespoons is equal to the volume in cups multiplied by 16.
So, to convert 1/8 cup to tablespoons, substitute 1/8 for the volume in cups:
tablespoons = (1/8 c × 16) = 2 tbsp
Therefore, there are 2 tablespoons in 1/8 cup.
How Many Tablespoons Are In 1/8 Metric Cup?
The conversion ratio is a little different for metric cups since they are slightly larger than a U.S. cup. Since one metric cup is equal to 250 mL and a metric tablespoon is equal to 15 mL, there are 16 2/3 tablespoons in one metric cup.
This means that the formula to calculate how many tablespoons are in 1/8 metric cup is:
tablespoons = (1/8 c × 16 2/3) = 2 1/16 tbsp
So, there are 2 1/16 tablespoons in 1/8 metric cup. For a cook or baker, this can alter the outcome of a recipe, so it's essential to keep this difference in mind.
