Question

a box of ground nutmeg weighs 1 1/3 ounces. If there are 20 teaspoons in the box, how much does one teaspoon of nutmeg weigh?

Answer 1

We can find out what the answer is by dividing the weight in ounces with the number of teaspoons.

1 1/3 = 4/3

(4/3)/20 = 4/60

4/60 = 1/15

The answer is 1/15 ounce
