How Many Tablespoons in 1/8Th of a Cup? Complete Kitchen Conversion Guide
By Robert Thorne
Kitchen measurement in the United States runs on the imperial-derived customary system. While the base numbers feel arbitrary compared to base-10 metric units, the internal fractions remain consistent. A full US customary cup contains exactly 16 tablespoons. Cutting that volume in half yields 8 tablespoons for a half cup. Cutting it in half once more yields 4 tablespoons for a quarter cup.
Dividing that quarter cup in half brings you directly to an eighth of a cup: exactly two tablespoons.
If your tablespoon is currently coated in honey or sitting in the sink, you can turn to the teaspoons to tablespoons ratio. Each tablespoon contains 3 teaspoons. Therefore, an eighth of a cup equals 6 level teaspoons. In liquid volume, this translates directly to 1 fluid ounce. Knowing these three numbers, two tablespoons, six teaspoons, or one fluid ounce, ensures you can always measure this fraction using whatever clean utensil sits on your drying rack.
