Answer:
Equivalent measurements: teaspoon, ounce, pint, pound
You will find a table of equivalent measurements in the back of many cookbooks:
1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons
1 cup = 16 tablespoon = 8 ounces
1/4 cup = 4 tablespoons
1/3 cup = 5 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon
1 pint = 2 cups = 16 ounces
1 quart = 4 cups (2 pints) = 32 ounces
1 gallon = 4 quarts
1 pound = 16 ounces
1/2 pound = 8 ounces
1/4 pound = 4 ounces
Note that a pint is 16 ounces of volume, while a pound is 16 ounces of weight. The popular rhyme "A pint's a pound, the world around" can help you remember this, but keep in mind that they're not really equivalent.
Doubling a recipe can be easy (just put in two of each measurement), but what if you need to divide a recipe in half? Here are some measurements that may help:
Measurement 1/2 Measurement
1/8 teaspoon just a dash
1 tablespoon 1 1/2 teaspoons
1/4 cup 2 tablespoons
1/3 cup 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons
3/4 cup 6 tablespoons
