    1/3 cup = 16/3 = 5.333 Tablespoons... which is 5 Tablespoons and 1 teaspoon.

    got that from yahoo ;-)

    1 US cup = 16 tablespoons
    1 tablespoon = 1/16 of a US cup (0.0625 cups)

    so i would say about
    5.25 tablespoon ???

    there are 16 Tablespoons in a cup, so a 1/3 cup would be just over 5 TB, probably 5 TB plus 1 tsp.

    There are 16 tablespoons in a cup. So, 5 and 1/3 tbsp in 1/3 cup. :)

    I don't know of fthe top of my head, but you could always measure out the tablespoons and put them in a cup or spoon whatever your using to measure 1/3 cup until it's full?

    There are 16 tablespoons in 1 cup.

    so 16 * .3333 = 5.333 or 5 and 1/3

    I get confused so I just type in 'tbs to cup' or anything else I am trying to figure out in my URL bar, usually google or some search will bring up exactly what I am looking for :)
