1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon is 1/3 of a cup
If you don't have a tablespoon or a teaspoon... and you only have the 1/4 cups measurer.
1/4 cup + (fill the 1/4 cup about 1/3rds full... that will get you 1/3rd of a cup)
Generally, youu don't need to get it exact just close. If it were a real important measurement, the recipe would call it out in terms of weight (grams or ounces), for dry ingredients, instead of cups.
Good luck and happy anniversary to your parents!

Some people don't know what 1/3 cup is! Even though you got your answer.. it's easy to remember that 1/3 cup is 5 tablespoons, plus 1 teaspoon. So all you do is measure the 1/4 cup, then add the 1 tablespoon, plus 1 teaspoon. It's that simple. If you have stick butter or margarine, it will show you the measurements. The 1/3 cup is just past that 1/4 cup measurement. So you can always refer to the butter if you are questioning this again.

you take 1 full measure and just a little over 1/2 half measure and you should be fine (1.5 1/4 cups is 3/8th of a cup) (3/9ths is 1/3).

How about this for dessert? Buy some fresh dates and some flavored whipped cream cheese. Some pecans too (optional) Split the dates with a knife. Wet the knife if necessary to stop it from sticking. Put the cream cheese in a plastic baggie. Cut a real small corner off the baggie and use it as a piping tool.Stuff the date with the cream cheese you squeeze it out of the baggie. Put a pecan on top of that. I get rave reviews on this. It's so tasty and sweet. It's inexpensive and very easy--and sort of healthy. Here's another dessert idea: Buy a can of cherry pie filling. Line a cupcake paper with a vanilla wafer or graham cracker crumbs. Top the wafer or graham crackers with the cherry pie filling. Make a crumb mixture with graham crackers, brown sugar and whatever you have that would make sense. Top with the crumble topping or with whipped cream. Both of these yummy recipes require refrigeration of the dessert. There are so many simple things you can do. Use your imagination. Walk down the aisles of the store and think! Good luck.

1/3 cup is more than 1/4. Eyeball it. It doesn't have to be perfect.

3/4 full .. think of your measuring cup as 4 equal parts . fill 3 of the 4 parts.

lots of laughs got it right
remember it takes 3 1/3 cups to = 1 cup and 4 1/4 cups to = 1 cup so 1/4 c + 1T + 1t is right
on your next outing, go to the $1 store and buy some more proper measure cups please!

Measure out your 1/3 cup. Then add two heaping tablespoons.
It'll come out fine.

What you do is fill it to 1/4, then add 3 tablespoons. That should be about perfect.

You could just measure out 16 teaspoons if you want to be accurate. Use a conversion chart.
