Tablespoons and cups differ between metric and US systems slightly. The US tablespoon is about 14.79 ml, while the metric tablespoon is 15 ml exactly. Likewise, US cups are about 236.59 ml, whereas metric cups are 250 ml, which can cause small discrepancies.
Can I replace 64 tablespoons with 4 cups in all recipes?
Replacing 64 tablespoons with 4 cups works for volume measurements, but in some recipes precise measurement is needed, especially for baking. Slight differences in ingredient packing or spooning can affect results, so measuring carefully is better.
Why is the tablespoon divided by 16 to get cups?
Because 1 cup contains exactly 16 tablespoons, dividing the number of tablespoons by 16 gives the equivalent cups. This ratio is fixed by US customary measurement definitions.
Is there a visual way to estimate 64 tablespoons as cups?
