Convert cups to tablespoons
tablespoons = cups × 16
One cup is 16 tablespoons, so multiply by 16 to convert. That factor is exact by definition. This is the US customary cup of 236.588 mL. Nutrition labels use a 240 mL cup and metric recipes a 250 mL one; the difference is under 6%, which matters for baking and not much else. This is the US tablespoon of 14.7868 mL. A metric tablespoon is 15 mL and an Australian one is 20 mL.
