Measure it: 12 tbsp

3/4 cup is 12 tablespoons (36 teaspoons, or 177.4 ml). It divides evenly, so unlike 1/3 and 2/3 cup there is no leftover teaspoon to add. The reason people still look it up is that standard measuring-cup sets run 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 and 1 cup and skip 3/4 entirely, so to measure it you fill a 1/2-cup and a 1/4-cup once each, or count out 12 level tablespoons. In US baking, 3/4 cup of butter is 1 1/2 sticks.

Three-quarters of a US cup is 12 tablespoons, 36 teaspoons, or 177.4 ml (6 fluid ounces). Unlike 1/3 and 2/3 cup it divides into a whole number of tablespoons, so there is no awkward extra teaspoon.

It is a common baking quantity, most often for butter (3/4 cup is 1 1/2 US sticks), sugar, or flour in single-batch cakes and cookies.
