Convert dessertspoon to tablespoon

Learn how to convert 1 dessertspoon to tablespoon step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (d e s s e r t s p o o n) = x (t a b l e s p o o n)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(c u b i c m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (d e s s e r t s p o o n) = 1.18387760416667 \times 10^{- 5} (c u b i c m e t e r) = 1.18387760416667 \times 10^{- 5} (m^{3})

Right side: 1.0 (t a b l e s p o o n) = 1.478676478125 \times 10^{- 5} (c u b i c m e t e r) = 1.478676478125 \times 10^{- 5} (m^{3})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (d e s s e r t s p o o n) = x (t a b l e s p o o n)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 1.18387760416667 \times 10^{- 5} \times (c u b i c m e t e r) = x \times 1.478676478125 \times 10^{- 5} \times (c u b i c m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 1.18387760416667 \times 10^{- 5} \cdot (m^{3}) = x \cdot 1.478676478125 \times 10^{- 5} \cdot (m^{3})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 1.18387760416667 \times 10^{- 5} \cdot (m^{3}) = x \times 1.478676478125 \times 10^{- 5} \times (m^{3})

Conversion Equation

1.18387760416667 \times 10^{- 5} = x \times 1.478676478125 \times 10^{- 5}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

1.18387760416667 \times 10^{- 5} = x \times 1.478676478125 \times 10^{- 5}

Simplify

1.18387760416667 = x \times 1.478676478125

Switch sides

x \times 1.478676478125 = 1.18387760416667

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{1.478676478125})

x \times 1.478676478125 \times \frac{1.0}{1.478676478125} = 1.18387760416667 \times \frac{1.0}{1.478676478125}

Cancel

x \times 1.478676478125 \times \frac{1.0}{1.478676478125} = 1.18387760416667 \times \frac{1.0}{1.478676478125}

Simplify

x = \frac{1.18387760416667}{1.478676478125}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.8006332837 \approx 8.0063 \times 10^{- 1}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (d e s s e r t s p o o n) \approx 8.0063 \times 10^{- 1} (t a b l e s p o o n)
