Typical values: 0.5 cup is about 8 tbsp, and 100 cup works out to roughly 1600 tbsp. Because the ratio is fixed at 16, you can scale any amount linearly — doubling the cups (US) doubles the tablespoons.
US and UK 'cups', 'pints' and 'gallons' differ, so always check which system a recipe or label uses before converting.
