For my first instructional post, I'll list some of the more mathematical properties of cooking.

A general measurement of liquids or solids is the Cup measurement.
Another common measurement is the teaspoon.

for those of you who only drink 1/2 liter bottles of soda:
2 cups is a little less than 1/2 liter, that converts to 96 teaspoons.

Ok, now to list them properly;

3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon 

48 teaspoons = 1 cup 

16 tablespoons = 1 cup

12 tablespoons = 3/4 cup

10 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons = 2/3 cup

8 tablespoons = 1/2 cup

6 tablespoons = 3/8 cup

5 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon = 1/3 cup

4 tablespoons = 1/4 cup

2 tablespoons = 1/8 cup

2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons = 1/6 cup

1 tablespoon = 1/16 cup

2 cups = 1 pint

2 pints = 1 quart 

4 quarts = 1 gallon

 

 Have fun with your cooking!
