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 :

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.
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.
