10. Standards of Measurement In food preparation, it is important to know equivalents particularly when halving or doubling a recipe. Being able to convert tablespoons and cups makes the process more efficient. For instance if you know that: 2 T = 1/8 cup 4 T = ¼ cup 6 T = 3/8 cup 8 T = ½ cup 12 T = ¾ cup Copyright © Notice: The materials are copyrighted © and trademarked ™ as the property of The Curriculum Center for Family and Consumer Sciences, Texas Tech University.

11. Standards of Measurement you would be able to double and half recipes and convert to the most efficient measurement of the product. For instance: If a recipe calls for 1/3 c flour and you needed to half the recipe, you would first convert to tablespoons. 1/4 cup = 4 T Half of that is 2 T and easily measureable.

12. Standards of Measurement If the recipe called for 2/3 c of flour and you were doubling the recipe, you would have 4/3 c. However, you would not be efficient if you measured out 4 – 1/3 cups of flour. You would measure the most efficient way by measuring 1 cup of flour and 1/3 cup of flour.
