There are 16 tablespoons (tbsp) in 1 cup (US customary measurement). This is a standard conversion used in cooking and baking regardless of the ingredient

Key Points:

• 1 cup = 16 tablespoons
• To convert tablespoons to cups, divide the number of tablespoons by 16.
• To convert cups to tablespoons, multiply the number of cups by 16.

For example:

• 32 tablespoons = 2 cups (32 ÷ 16 = 2)
• 2.5 cups = 40 tablespoons (2.5 × 16 = 40)

This conversion applies to both liquid and dry ingredients for volume measurements
