1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons
1 cup = 16 tablespoon = 8 ounces
1/4 cup = 4 tablespoons
1/3 cup = 5 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon


1/6 cup = 2 1/2 TB (6 tsp + 1 1/2 tsp) + 1/2 tsp = 2TB + 2tsp

my_psychosis,

You can utilize Google if you run into this in the future and don't have a table handy by typing the following into the search field:

1/3 cup in teaspoons

Then click the "search" button and it will yield the result.
