To convert grams of cornstarch to teaspoons, we can use the general conversion factor that 1 tablespoon of cornstarch weighs approximately 8 grams. Since there are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon, we can calculate the conversion as follows:
1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons 8 grams = 1 tablespoon
Now, to convert 50 grams to teaspoons:
- First, find the number of tablespoons in 50 grams:
\[ \text{Tablespoons} = \frac{50 \text{ grams}}{8 \text{ grams/tablespoon}} \approx 6.25 \text{ tablespoons} \]
- Now, convert tablespoons to teaspoons:
\[ \text{Teaspoons} = 6.25 \text{ tablespoons} \times 3 \text{ teaspoons/tablespoon} = 18.75 \text{ teaspoons} \]
Therefore, 50 grams of cornstarch is approximately 18.75 teaspoons.
