How many teaspoons are in 1 tablespoon?

• A. 2 teaspoons
• B. 3 teaspoons
• C. 4 teaspoons
• D. 5 teaspoons

Answer: (B)

Three teaspoons make one tablespoon. This is the standard measuring-spoon relationship: a tablespoon is three times as large as a teaspoon. So measuring a tablespoon’s worth equals filling a teaspoon three times. For extra context, in metric terms a tablespoon is 15 milliliters and a teaspoon is 5 milliliters, and 15 ml equals 3 × 5 ml. The other options would imply fewer or more teaspoons than the defined size relationship.
