Teaspoons to Tablespoons conversion

How to convert teaspoons to tablespoons?

To convert teaspoons to tablespoons, you need to know the basic conversion factor between the two units of volume.

1 tablespoon (tbsp) is equal to 3 teaspoons (tsp).

So, to convert teaspoons to tablespoons, you can use the following formula: $\text{tablespoons} = \frac{\text{teaspoons}}{3}$

For your example: $\text{tablespoons} = \frac{1 \text{ tsp}}{3} = \frac{1}{3} \text{ tbsp}$

Therefore, 1 teaspoon is equal to $\frac{1}{3}$ tablespoon.

Real-World Examples

These conversions are particularly useful when following recipes that may use one unit of measurement and you only have measuring tools for the other. For example, if a recipe calls for 6 teaspoons of sugar, you can easily find that it is 2 tablespoons of sugar, making your measurements straightforward.
