Question

Mr. Joy continued to take the Robitussin for his coughing. On the bottle it read, 2tsp/Tsp. He received a total of 8 tsp for the whole day. How many Tbsp did Mr. Joy receive?

Answer 1

By converting teaspoons to tablespoons using the factor that 1 tablespoon is equal to 3 teaspoons, Mr. Joy's total intake of cough syrup, which was 8 teaspoons, results in approximately 2.67 tablespoons.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the total teaspoons (tsp) of cough syrup taken by Mr. Joy into tablespoons (Tbsp), we need to know the conversion factor betweens teaspoons and tablespoons. One tablespoon is equivalent to three teaspoons. Therefore, to find out how many tablespoons Mr. Joy has received, we divide the total number of teaspoons by three.

Calculation: Mr. Joy received a total of 8 tsp of cough syrup. To convert teaspoons to tablespoons:

Number of Tbsp = Number of tsp ÷ 3

Number of Tbsp = 8 tsp ÷ 3

Number of Tbsp = 2.67 tablespoons (rounded to two decimal places)

Therefore, Mr. Joy has received approximately 2.67 tablespoons of cough syrup for the whole day.
