What Is Half of 2¾ Cups?
Half of 2¾ cups is 1⅜ cups.

How to measure 1⅜ cups
- With standard cups & spoons: 1 cup + 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp
- Tablespoon method: count out 22 level tablespoons. A cup is 16 tablespoons, so awkward cup fractions often come out to a clean number of spoons.
- By volume: 325 ml, or 11 fluid ounces — handy if you have a measuring jug.
- By weight (most accurate): see the gram table below for common ingredients.
Here's the math: 2¾ cups is 44 tablespoons. Take half of that and you get 22 tablespoons, which is 1⅜ cups. Working in spoons instead of cup fractions is the trick professional bakers use to scale recipes without special equipment.
