Convert teaspoon to tablespoon

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (t e a 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 (t e a s p o o n) = 5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 6} (c u b i c m e t e r) = 5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 6} (m^{3})

Right side: 1.0 (t a b l e s p o o n) = 1.77581640625 \times 10^{- 5} (c u b i c m e t e r) = 1.77581640625 \times 10^{- 5} (m^{3})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 6} \times (c u b i c m e t e r) = x \times 1.77581640625 \times 10^{- 5} \times (c u b i c m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 6} \cdot (m^{3}) = x \cdot 1.77581640625 \times 10^{- 5} \cdot (m^{3})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 6} \cdot (m^{3}) = x \times 1.77581640625 \times 10^{- 5} \times (m^{3})

Conversion Equation

5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 6} = x \times 1.77581640625 \times 10^{- 5}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

5.91938802083333 \times {10^{- 6}}^{10^{- 1}} = x \times 1.77581640625 \times 10^{- 5}

Simplify

5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 1} = x \times 1.77581640625

Switch sides

x \times 1.77581640625 = 5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 1}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{1.77581640625})

x \times 1.77581640625 \times \frac{1.0}{1.77581640625} = 5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 1} \times \frac{1.0}{1.77581640625}

Cancel

x \times 1.77581640625 \times \frac{1.0}{1.77581640625} = 5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 1} \times \frac{1.0}{1.77581640625}

Simplify

x = \frac{5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 1}}{1.77581640625}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.3333333333 \approx 3.3333 \times 10^{- 1}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (t e a s p o o n) \approx 3.3333 \times 10^{- 1} (t a b l e s p o o n)
