The prescription calls for a dosage of 3 tsp. Your stock bottle contains 20 oz. How many teaspoons are in this bottle?

Answer :

There are 120 teaspoons in a 20-ounce bottle, calculated by converting ounces to tablespoons and then tablespoons to teaspoons using the US Customary System Conversions.

To determine how many teaspoons are in a 20-ounce stock bottle, we need to use the US Customary System Conversions to convert ounces to teaspoons.

First, we know the following equivalencies:

  • 1 fluid ounce (fl oz) = 2 tablespoons (tbsp)
  • 1 tablespoon (tbsp) = 3 teaspoons (tsp)

Using this information, we can calculate the number of teaspoons in the stock bottle:

  1. Multiply the number of ounces in the bottle by the conversion factor to get tablespoons: 20 fl oz x 2 tbsp/fl oz = 40 tbsp.
  2. Multiply the number of tablespoons by the conversion factor to get teaspoons: 40 tbsp x 3 tsp/tbsp = 120 tsp.

Therefore, there are 120 teaspoons in a 20-ounce bottle.
