Question

Devon knows that there are 3 teaspoons (tsp) in 1 tablespoon (tbsp). His cookie recipe calls for 6 tbsp of honey.

Which expressions can be used to find the number of tsp in 6 tbsp?

Answer 1

The correct answer to this question might be a ratio of 3:1, simplified down from finding that there are 18 teaspoons in 6 tablespoons.

Answer 2

Answer is: 6 tbsp × 3 tsp / 1 tbsp.

number of tsp (teaspoon) in 6 tbsp (tablespoon) = 6 tbsp × (3 tsp / 1 tbsp).

number of tsp (teaspoon) in 6 tbsp (tablespoon) = 18 tsp (teaspoon).

3 tsp / 1 tbsp, this expression means there are three teaspoons (tsp) in one tablespoon (tbsp), multiply this expression with six tablespoon (6 tbsp) because there are six tablespoons of honey in recipe.
