Question: how many tablespoons equals 1/4 pound of butter?
Answer: Butter is mostly sold in packages of 1/2-pound or 1-pound and within these packages the butter is split into pre-wrapped sticks weighing 1/4 pound (or 4 ounces/110g) each, which also equals 1/2 cup. The wrapping on each stick indicates tablespoon measures (8 tablespoons per stick).
