How do you convert teaspoon to tablespoon?

Answer 1

Answer

I cannot properly answer your question because I cannot remember exactly the amounts, but I think that it used to be that 2 teaspoons equaled 1 dessertspoon, and that 3 dessertspoon equaled 1 tablespoon (or serving spoon).

There is also a problem in that nowadays many people say a tablespoon when they mean a dessertspoon.

The only definite helpful measurement that I have is that the standard (apothecary)teaspoon is 5ml.
An old british cookbook such as Mrs. Beatons cookbook, or anything from before 1950 will have these equivelants.

Answer

1 tablespoon contains 3 teaspoons

As far as I know, US teaspoon is not equal to UK teaspoon, and US tablespoon is not equal to UK tablespoon either. And, AFAIK, in US measurement system there is no dessertspoon.

There are three teaspoons in a tablespoon, so 1/3 tablespoon would be a teaspoon.

Answer 2

1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons

1 teaspoon = 0.33 tablespoon

Answer 3

divide by 3
