Tablespoons in ⅔ Cup?
The answer 10.67 tablespoons in a cup isn't quite as helpful in decimal form. No cook has a tool to measure 0.67 tablespoons. Luckily I have another conversion that will help.

Tablespoons & Cups Defined
A tablespoon (tbsp) is a spoon used to measure small amounts of wet or dry ingredients like maple syrup or baking powder equivalent to 0.5 fluid ounces or 15 ml.
A cup (c) is an important kitchen measuring tool that can hold wet or dry ingredients that equal 8 fluid ounces or 8 dry ounces, or 237 ml.
Mathematical Breakdown
Here's a breakdown of how this conversion works:
1 cup = 16 tablespoons
⅔ cup = (⅔) x 16 tablespoons
⅔ cup = 10 and ⅔ tablespoons = 10 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons
This conversion applies to both liquid and dry ingredients in the US customary system of measurement. Having this conversion knowledge at your fingertips ensures you can follow recipes accurately and make adjustments as needed.
Practical Examples
Imagine you're preparing a salad dressing that requires ⅔ cup of olive oil. To find out how many tablespoons you need, you would calculate:
⅔ cup × 16 tablespoons per cup = 10 and ⅔ tablespoons
So, you would need 10 and ⅔ tablespoons of olive oil for your dressing. Since there are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon, then ⅔ tablespoon is 2 teaspoons.
So you would need 10 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons of olive oil.
