Question

If Tony ate 2 tablespoons of Italian salad dressing, how many teaspoons equivalent of oil would it be _______.

1) 3 teaspoons
2) 4 teaspoons
3) 5 teaspoons
4) 6 teaspoons

Answer 1

Tony ate an equivalent of 6 teaspoons of oil when he consumed 2 tablespoons of Italian salad dressing, as there are 3 teaspoons in 1 tablespoon.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking to convert the amount of Italian salad dressing consumed by Tony in tablespoons to the equivalent in teaspoons to find out how much oil he ate. As a general rule in cooking measurements, 1 tablespoon is equivalent to 3 teaspoons. Therefore, if Tony ate 2 tablespoons of Italian salad dressing, we will use a simple multiplication to convert this amount into teaspoons.

To find the conversion, we multiply the number of tablespoons by 3 (since there are 3 teaspoons in 1 tablespoon):

2 tablespoons × 3 teaspoons/tablespoon = 6 teaspoons.

Hence, the equivalent amount of oil that Tony consumed in teaspoons is 6 teaspoons.
