Question

Multiply:

18 tablespoons 1 teaspoon times 2
=
tablespoons
teaspoons

Answer 1

To multiply \( 18 \) tablespoons and \( 1 \) teaspoon by \( 2 \), we first need to convert everything to a common unit (tablespoons or teaspoons).

1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons, so:

1. First, convert \( 1 \) teaspoon to tablespoons:
- \( 1 \) teaspoon = \( \frac{1}{3} \) tablespoons.

2. Now, add the teaspoons converted into tablespoons to the \( 18 \) tablespoons:
- \( 18 + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{54}{3} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{55}{3} \) tablespoons.

3. Now, multiply this by \( 2 \):
- \( 2 \times \frac{55}{3} = \frac{110}{3} \) tablespoons.

4. To express this in tablespoons and teaspoons, divide by \( 1 \) (each tablespoon is \( 3 \) teaspoons):
- \( \frac{110}{3} \) tablespoons = \( 36 \) tablespoons and \( \frac{2}{3} \) tablespoons.

5. Convert \( \frac{2}{3} \) tablespoons to teaspoons:
- \( \frac{2}{3} \times 3 = 2 \) teaspoons.

So, the result is:

**36 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons.**

Thus, the final answer is:

\[ 36 \text{ tablespoons } 2 \text{ teaspoons}. \]
