how many tablespoons is a third cup of butter?
Let x be the number of tablespoons in 1/3 cup. (1/3)/(1/2) = x/8. 1/3 * 2/1 = x/8. 8*(2/3) = (x/8)*8. 16/3 = x. 5 1/3 = x. Therefore, 1/3 cup of butter is 5 1/3 tablespoons. We know that 8 tablespoons of butter = 1/2 cup. Let x be the number of tablespoons in 1/3 cup. <br /> (1/3)/(1/2) = x/8 <br /> 1/3 * 2/1 = x/8 <br /> 8*(2/3) = (x/8)*8 <br /> 16/3 = x <br /> 5 1/3 = x <br /> Therefore, 1/3 cup of butter is <strong>5 1/3 tablespoons.</strong>.
