What Is Triple ⅝ Cup?
How to measure 1⅞ cups
- With standard cups & spoons: 1 cup + 3/4 cup + 2 tbsp
- Tablespoon method: count out 30 level tablespoons. A cup is 16 tablespoons, so awkward cup fractions often come out to a clean number of spoons.
- By volume: 444 ml, or 15 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: ⅝ cup is 10 tablespoons. Take triple of that and you get 30 tablespoons, which is 1⅞ cups. Scaling up is forgiving for most ingredients — but see the FAQ below for the ones that aren't.
