I need help fast!! Im making a cake and i only have a 1/4 cup measurer. and i have to measure 1/3!!!!
Question:
Answer:
1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon is 1/3 of a cup
If you don't have a tablespoon or a teaspoon... and you only have the 1/4 cups measurer.
1/4 cup + (fill the 1/4 cup about 1/3rds full... that will get you 1/3rd of a cup)
Generally, youu don't need to get it exact just close. If it were a real important measurement, the recipe would call it out in terms of weight (grams or ounces), for dry ingredients, instead of cups.
Good luck and happy anniversary to your parents!
Just not quite to the top of the 1/4 cup. Take a deep breath, you'll be fine! You won't screw it up!!
actually it's a little bit more than 1/4- not less!
Measure out your 1/3 cup. Then add two heaping tablespoons.
It'll come out fine.
3/4 full .. think of your measuring cup as 4 equal parts . fill 3 of the 4 parts.
lots of laughs got it right
remember it takes 3 1/3 cups to = 1 cup and 4 1/4 cups to = 1 cup so 1/4 c + 1T + 1t is right
on your next outing, go to the $1 store and buy some more proper measure cups please!
You could just measure out 16 teaspoons if you want to be accurate. Use a conversion chart.
What you do is fill it to 1/4, then add 3 tablespoons. That should be about perfect.
1/3 cup is more than 1/4. Eyeball it. It doesn't have to be perfect.
you take 1 full measure and just a little over 1/2 half measure and you should be fine (1.5 1/4 cups is 3/8th of a cup) (3/9ths is 1/3).
No, a third of a cup is BIGGER than one-quarter cup, you should increase it by one tablespoon.
Some people don't know what 1/3 cup is! Even though you got your answer.. it's easy to remember that 1/3 cup is 5 tablespoons, plus 1 teaspoon. So all you do is measure the 1/4 cup, then add the 1 tablespoon, plus 1 teaspoon. It's that simple. If you have stick butter or margarine, it will show you the measurements. The 1/3 cup is just past that 1/4 cup measurement. So you can always refer to the butter if you are questioning this again.
