One half cup equals eight tablespoons. Two thirds of a cup equals ten tablespoons and two teaspoons. Three fourths of a cup equals twelve tablespoons. One cup equals sixteen tablespoons. One half of a pint equals one cup or eight fluid ounces. One pint equals two cups or sixteen fluid ounces. One quart equals four cups, two pints, or thirty two fluid ounces.
