A recipe calls for cup of broth. The largest volume-measuring tool that Tabitha has is a teaspoon. She knows that there are 16 tablespoons in 1 cup and 3 teaspoons in 1 tablespoon. How many teaspoons of broth should she use?

1c = 16t = x(
(1)/(3))
1c = 16t = 16 X 3
1c = 16t = 48

She should use 48 teaspoons of broth.

Hey there

We know that a recipe calls for cup of broth. The largest volume-measuring tool that Tabitha has is a teaspoon. She knows that there are 16 tablespoons in 1 cup and 3 teaspoons in 1 tablespoon.

To solve the problem we have to use multiplication

16 x 3 = 48

She should use 48 teaspoons of broth.
