Question

A recipe calls for cup of broth. The largest volume-measuring tool that Tabitha has is a teaspoon. She knows that there are 16 tablespoons in 1 cup and 3 teaspoons in 1 tablespoon. How many teaspoons of broth should she use?

Answer 1

1c = 16t = x($\frac{1}{3}$)
1c = 16t = 16 X 3
1c = 16t = 48

She should use 48 teaspoons of broth. 

Answer 2

Hey there

We know that a recipe calls for cup of broth. The largest volume-measuring tool that Tabitha has is a teaspoon. She knows that there are 16 tablespoons in 1 cup and 3 teaspoons in 1 tablespoon.  

To solve the problem we have to use multiplication 

16 x 3 = 48 

 She should use 48 teaspoons of broth.
