It looks like your question got cut off. Could you please clarify what you mean by "3"? Are you asking:

• How many sticks of butter are in 3 cups?
• How many sticks of butter are in 3 tablespoons?
• How many sticks of butter are in 3 pounds?
• Or something else?

If you want a quick reference:

• 1 stick of butter = 1/2 cup = 8 tablespoons = 4 ounces (about 113 grams).

Please provide a bit more detail, and I’ll be happy to help!
