To solve this problem, follow these steps:

1. Understand the conversion factor: 1 cup is equivalent to 16 tablespoons.

2. Identify the fraction of a cup used in the recipe: [tex]\(\frac{1}{4}\)[/tex] cup.

3. Calculate the number of tablespoons for the given fraction of a cup:
- Multiply the total number of tablespoons in one cup by the fraction of the cup used.
- This is: [tex]\( 16 \times \frac{1}{4} \)[/tex].

4. Simplify the expression:
[tex]\[ 16 \times \frac{1}{4} = 4 \][/tex]

Therefore, the recipe uses 4 tablespoons of sugar.
