Tablespoons per second to Cups per second conversion

How to convert tablespoons per second to cups per second?

To convert from Tablespoons per second to Cups per second, we need to understand the relationship between tablespoons and cups.

Conversion factors:

• 1 Cup = 16 Tablespoons

Using this conversion factor, we can set up the following relationship:

$\text{Rate in Cups per second} = \text{Rate in Tablespoons per second} \times \left( \frac{1 \text{ Cup}}{16 \text{ Tablespoons}} \right)$

So, to convert 1 Tablespoon per second to Cups per second:

$1 \text{ Tablespoon/second} \times \left( \frac{1 \text{ Cup}}{16 \text{ Tablespoons}} \right) = \frac{1}{16} \text{ Cups/second}$

Hence, 1 Tablespoon per second is $\frac{1}{16}$ Cups per second, which simplifies to:

$1 \text{ Tablespoon/second} = 0.0625 \text{ Cups/second}$

Real-World Examples for Other Quantities of Tablespoons per Second:

1. Cooking and Baking:

   • Imagine you're filling a cup with a kitchen faucet that dispenses water at a rate of 2 Tablespoons per second. In terms of cups, this would be: $2 \text{ Tablespoons/second} \times \left( \frac{1 \text{ Cup}}{16 \text{ Tablespoons}} \right) = 0.125 \text{ Cups/second}$ So, 2 Tablespoons per second is 0.125 Cups per second.

2. Chemical Mixing:

   • In a chemical lab setting, suppose a solution is added at a rate of 5 Tablespoons per second into a reaction mixture: $5 \text{ Tablespoons/second} \times \left( \frac{1 \text{ Cup}}{16 \text{ Tablespoons}} \right) = 0.3125 \text{ Cups/second}$ Therefore, 5 Tablespoons per second is equivalent to 0.3125 Cups per second.

3. Feeding Pets:

   • When preparing chicken broth for your pet at a rate of 0.5 Tablespoons per second: $0.5 \text{ Tablespoons/second} \times \left( \frac{1 \text{ Cup}}{16 \text{ Tablespoons}} \right) = 0.03125 \text{ Cups/second}$ So, 0.5 Tablespoons per second translates to 0.03125 Cups per second.

4. Garden Watering:

   • If your garden's drip irrigation system delivers water at 10 Tablespoons per second: $10 \text{ Tablespoons/second} \times \left( \frac{1 \text{ Cup}}{16 \text{ Tablespoons}} \right) = 0.625 \text{ Cups/second}$ Hence, 10 Tablespoons per second is equivalent to 0.625 Cups per second.

In summary, this conversion is useful for various applications from cooking to scientific experiments, where precise measurements of flow rates are required.
