How many tablespoons are there in 1 1/3 cup?

To determine how many tablespoons are in 1 1/3 cup, it is helpful to convert cups into tablespoons using a standard conversion. One cup contains 16 tablespoons.

First, we need to convert 1 1/3 cups into an improper fraction, which gives us 4/3 cups. Now, we multiply the number of cups (4/3) by the number of tablespoons in one cup (16):

[

\frac{4}{3} \text{ cups} \times 16 \text{ tablespoons/cup} = \frac{4 \times 16}{3} = \frac{64}{3} \text{ tablespoons}

]

Now, when we divide 64 by 3, we get approximately 21.33 tablespoons. When rounded to the nearest whole number or if we consider only full tablespoons, we typically take the complete sets.

However, if we look for the number of full tablespoons, we convert the improper fraction to a mixed number which leads us to realize that 1 1/3 cups is equal to 21 1/3 tablespoons, making it appropriate to round up to 22 for practical usage in cooking, but in totality, when calculated without
