C. 13.5 oz
D. 1.5 oz

Answer :

To convert 9 teaspoons to fluid ounces, use the conversion factor that 1 teaspoon is 1/6 of a fluid ounce, which results in 1.5 fluid ounces hence the correct option is d) 1.5oz

The question asks to convert 9 teaspoons to an equivalent amount in ounces. One teaspoon is equivalent to 1/6 of a fluid ounce because there are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon and 2 tablespoons in a fluid ounce. Therefore, we use this ratio for conversion:

  • 9 tsp x (1 tbsp / 3 tsp) x (1 fl oz / 2 tbsp) = 9 tsp x (1/3 tbsp) x (1/2 fl oz) = (9/6) fl oz = 1.5 fl oz

The correct answer is 1.5 ounces, which means option d is correct.
