Question

equivalents
1 pound = ____ c = 16 oz.
1 cup = __ oz. = __ tablespoons
1/2 cup = __ oz. = tablespoons = __ squares of butter
1/4 cup = __ oz. = __ tablespoons
1 tablespoon = ____ teaspoons
1/8 tsp. = few grains = dash = pinch

Explanation:

Step1: Recall volume - weight conversion

1 pound = 2 cups = 16 oz.

Step2: Recall cup - ounce - tablespoon conversion

1 cup = 8 oz = 16 tablespoons.

Step3: Calculate for half - cup

1/2 cup = 4 oz = 8 tablespoons. A stick of butter is usually 1/2 cup or 8 tablespoons, and often cut into 8 squares, so 1/2 cup = 4 oz = 8 tablespoons = 8 squares of butter.

Step4: Calculate for quarter - cup

1/4 cup = 2 oz = 4 tablespoons.

Step5: Recall tablespoon - teaspoon conversion

1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons.

Answer:

1 pound = 2 c = 16 oz.
1 cup = 8 oz = 16 tablespoons
1/2 cup = 4 oz = 8 tablespoons = 8 squares of butter
1/4 cup = 2 oz = 4 tablespoons
1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons
