Answer:

0 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons

Explanation:

method 1:

Do the calculation in teaspoons for accuracy:

1173 tablespoons and 1 teaspoons = 1173*3 + 1 = 3520 teaspoons

Now 3520 / 1760 = 2 teaspoons exactly.

Hence the answer is 2 teaspoons.

method 2:

1173 / 1760 ≈ 0.666 tablespoons ≈ 1.998 teaspoons

1 / 1760 ≈ 0.00057 teaspoons

1.998 + 0.00057 ≈ 2 teaspoons

Method 1 is clearly more accurate
