• 3 tsp.= __________Tbsp.• 1• ______________Tbsp= 1 c. • 16• 4 Tbsp=_______________• 1/4c. or 12 tsp.

Conversion practice….

Divide the following in half.• 1/3c.• ½ * 1/3 = 1/6c.• Can we measure this?• 1/3c. =__________Tbsp.• 5 1/3 Tbsp.• so 1/3 Tablespoon is 1 tsp. since there are three

teaspoons in a Tbsp.• 5 Tbsp+ 1 tsp.• 5 Tbsp + 1 tsp.=16tsp• 16 tsp. / 2+/= 8 tsp.• 8 tsp.= 2 Tbsp. + 2 tsp.
