Three teaspoons equals 1 tablespoon. A pumpkin bread recipe calls for 1(1/2) teaspoons of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1 teaspoon of allspice, and 1/2 teaspoon of cloves. How many tablespoons of each spice is needed to triple the recipe?                                                                                        3 tablespoons of cinnamon, 2 tablespoons of nutmeg, 2 tablespoons of allspice, and 1 tablespoon of cloves                                                                                                                                    4 tablespoons 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

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.

112 teaspoons of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1 teaspoon of allspice and 12 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

 

 112 teaspoons of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1 teaspoon of allspice and 12 teaspoon of cloves.

 

to

 

112 tablespoon of cinnamon, 1 tablespoon of nutmeg, 1 tablespoon of allspice and 12 tablespoon of cloves.

Now I'll give three examples of multiplying by 3

(* means times)

2*3 = 2+2+2 = 6

 

3*23 = 23+23+23 = 2+2+23 = 63 = 2

 

3112=112+112+112=1+1+1+12+12+12=4+12=412

So is this the same question?

and what's the problem with the question?

do you have trouble multiplying the numbers by 3?

I mean adding the same value three times cannot be too difficult to understand.

Well, 3 is the same as 3/1 isn't it? We can use this to multiply 3 by a fraction.

So say we wanted to multiply 3 times 2/3

3/1*2/3    

Now just multiply the tops together, and the bottoms together

6/3

or

2

 

Does this help out?

Try using this to work out some other fractions times 3. 

If you have any more troubles, let us know!
