Question

Kelly measured 12 teaspoons of a drink mix. She had a measuring cup showing fluid ounces. What equivalent amounts, in tablespoons and fluid ounces, could she have used?

Answer 1

Given:
12 teaspoon

convert to tablespoons:
1 table spoon = 3 teaspoons
12 tsp x 1tbs/3tsp = 12tbs/3 = 4 tablespoons

1 tsp = 0.33 tbs
12tsp x 0.33tbs/tps = 3.96 or 4 tbs

convert to fluid ounces:
1 fluid ounce = 6 teaspoons
12 teaspoon x 1 fl.oz/6tsp = 12 fl.oz / 6 = 2 fl. oz.

1tsp = 0.166 fl oz
12 tsp x 0.166 fl oz/tsp = 1.992 or 2 fl.oz.
