How to Convert Teaspoons to Tablespoons

Formula

Tablespoons = Teaspoons ÷ 3;
Cups = Teaspoons ÷ 48

There are 3 teaspoons in one tablespoon. This is one of the most fundamental kitchen conversions.

Teaspoons are commonly used for small quantities of spices, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt.

Common use cases:

  • Spice measurement conversion
  • Baking powder and soda amounts
  • Small-quantity recipe scaling
