weights and measure
what is the question???
5 Tbl = just less than 1/3 cup
IT is very plainly marked on the paper wraper
as for the sugar use 4 soup spoons

There are 16 tablespoons in a cup, and a cup is 8oz, so....
5Tablespoons butter would be 2.5 oz and 3 Tablespoons sugar would be 1.5 oz.

So in cups that translates to a little over 1/4 cup butter and a little under 1/4 cup of sugar....

American recipes use dry and fluid measures. Volume determines fluid measures; weight determines dry measures. However, most U.S. recipes refer to ingredients in terms of volume. So don't worry too much whether the ingredient you're measuring is dry or fluid; just use the measure specified in your recipe.

Some recipes use additional instructions that require a specific amount of the ingredient. For example, a recipe might request "1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed", or "2 heaping cups flour".

Dash or Pinch
Generally considered to be less than 1/8 teaspoon.

Firmly Packed
With a spatula, a spoon or your hand, tightly press the ingredient into the measuring cup. You should measure as much of the ingredient as you can fit into the measure.

Lightly Packed
Press the ingredient into the measuring cup lightly. Make sure there are no air pockets, but do not compress it too much either.

Even / Level
Measure the amount precisely, discarding the entire ingredient that rises above the rim of the measuring cup. The back of a straight knife works well for this.

Rounded
Do not flatten out the ingredient to the top of the measuring cup. Instead allow it to pile up above the rim naturally, into a soft, rounded shape.

Heaping / Heaped
Pile as much of the ingredient on top of the measure as it can hold.

Sifted
Sift with a strainer or sifter before measuring to ensure ingredient is not compacted and there is no other foreign substance in it.

5 tbl equals 1/3 cup

the butter is 5/16 or a cup which is just 0ver 1/4 of a cup, but to be more accurate would be to measure it by weight which would be 5T. is 2.5 oz. as far as the sugar goes that would be 3/16 of a cup and I can't put that into weight for you. But there is 16 tablespoons in one cup
