It's only until now that I see the difference between the word tablespoon and teaspoon.

Anyway, I'll help you then.

Let me rephrase the question to;

How many tablespoons do you need to triple each of these recipes.

$$1 \frac{1}{2}$$ teaspoons of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1 teaspoon of allspice and $$\frac{1}{2}$$ teaspoon of cloves.

 

3 tablespoon of cinnamon, 2 tablespoons of nutmeg, 2 tablespoons of allspice and 1 tablespoon of cloves.

 

4 tablespoon of cinnamon, 2 tablespoons of nutmeg, 2 tablespoons of allspice and 1 tablespoon of cloves.

 

1 tablespoon of cinnamon, mc005-5.jpg tablespoon of nutmeg, mc005-6.jpg tablespoon of allspice, and mc005-7.jpg tablespoon of cloves   

1mc005-3.jpg tablespoons of cinnamon, 1 tablespoon of nutmeg, 1 tablespoon of allspice, and mc005-4.jpg tablespoon of cloves

All right, so the first one is the easiest. We learned three teaspoons = one tablespoon so the first recipe can be changed from

 

 $$1 \frac{1}{2}$$ teaspoons of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1 teaspoon of allspice and $$\frac{1}{2}$$ teaspoon of cloves.

 

to

 

$$1 \frac{1}{2}$$ tablespoon of cinnamon, 1 tablespoon of nutmeg, 1 tablespoon of allspice and $$\frac{1}{2}$$ tablespoon of cloves.

Now I'll give three examples of multiplying by 3

(* means times)

2*3 = 2+2+2 = 6

 

3*$$\frac{2}{3}$$ = $$\frac{2}{3}+\frac{2}{3}+\frac{2}{3}$$ = $$\frac{2+2+2}{3}$$ = $$\frac{6}{3}$$ = 2

 

$$3* 1 \frac{1}{2} = 1 \frac{1}{2}+1 \frac{1}{2}+ 1 \frac{1}{2} = 1 + 1 + 1 + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = 4 + \frac{1}{2} = 4\frac{1}{2}$$
