Question 316182: A recipe calls for punch that serves 4 people calls for 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of sugar. If 3 teaspoons equals 1 tablespoon, how many tablespoons will be needed to make enough punch for 18 people? Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Set up a ratio.
4 people is to 1 and 1/2 tsp as 18 people is to X tsp.
This is the value in tsp. Use the conversion, 3 tsp=1 Tsp.
X=(27/4)tsp*(1 Tsp/3 tsp)=9/4=(2+1/4) Tsp.
