Formula: multiply tablespoons by 3 to get teaspoons
How to convert tablespoons to teaspoons
To convert tablespoons to teaspoons, multiply the number of tablespoons by 3. There are exactly 3 teaspoons in every tablespoon — this is a universal ratio in both US and metric cooking.
For example, 2 tablespoons × 3 = 6 teaspoons. Going the other way, divide teaspoons by 3 to get tablespoons. So 9 teaspoons ÷ 3 = 3 tablespoons.
1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons = approximately 14.787 ml. 1 teaspoon = approximately 4.929 ml. These conversions are essential for scaling recipes up or down and for measuring small quantities of ingredients like spices, baking powder, and vanilla extract.
