3/8 is 3 oz. A cup is 8 oz so 3/8 is 3 oz. If you're trying to use dry measure, then 3/8 is just under a half (4/8 being a half) and more than a quarter (2/8 being a quarter cup) so your closes bet is 1/3 cup.
Here's the math teacher coming at ya!
1/4 cup can also be written as 2/8 cup
Half of 2/8 cups is 1/8 cup. Ergo half of 1/4 cup is 1/8 cup.
2/8 plus 1/8 = 3/8
so.... 1/4 cup plus half of a 1/4 cup = 3/8 cup
redpanda's measuring method is more accurate than trying to eyeball half of a 1/4 measuring cup!
I bought a set of measuring cups that came with a 3/4 measuring cup. First time I'd ever seen one of those and I luv having that little sucker around!

Thank you for the explination. I don't think I will ever forget what 3/8 cup is now!
I have been aking every since I was a child and I have never come across having to use 3/8cup. You learn soemthing new every day!
Here's a chart I have taped up in my kitchen. VERY handy for when you double-quad a recipe and don't want to measure out 12 teaspoons. Convert it to 4 tablespoons (3 tsp = 1 Tbsp), check this chart and measure out 1/4 cup instead. My girls LUV this! (scroll to the bottom of the page)
