Simplified Measures
Sometimes you need to know.

 
Dash = less than 1/8 teaspoon   2 pints (4 cups) = 1 quart
3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon 4 quarts liquid = 1 gallon
16 tablespoons = 1 cup, good luck 8 quarts solid = 1 peck
1 cup = 1/2 pint 4 pecks = 1 bushel
2 cups = 1 pint 16 ounces = 1 pound, Oh yeah

Cup Portions By Tablespoon
I have been this disparate before.

4 tablespoons = 1/4 cup   10 2/3 tablespoons = 2/3 cup
5 1/3 tablespoons = 1/3 cup 12 tablespoons = 3/4 cup
8 tablespoons = 1/2 cup 14 tablespoons = 7/8 cup
