How to Convert Cups to Tablespoons

To convert a measurement in cups to a measurement in tablespoons, multiply the butter by the following conversion ratio: 16 tablespoons/cup.

Since one cup of butter is equal to 16 tablespoons, you can use this simple formula to convert:

tablespoons = cups × 16

The butter in tablespoons is equal to the butter in cups multiplied by 16.

For example, here's how to convert 5 cups to tablespoons using the formula above.

tablespoons = (5 c × 16) = 80 tbsp
