Explanation:

Step1: Identify the conversion factor

We know that 1 cup is equal to 16 tablespoons.

Step2: Calculate the number of tablespoons for 1/4 cup

To find the number of tablespoons in $\frac{1}{4}$ cup, we multiply the number of tablespoons in 1 cup (16) by $\frac{1}{4}$. So the calculation is $16\times\frac{1}{4}$.

Step3: Perform the multiplication

$16\times\frac{1}{4}=\frac{16}{4} = 4$.
