To convert 21 tablespoons per minute to teaspoons per hour, we need to follow these steps:

  1. Convert tablespoons to teaspoons:
    There are 3 teaspoons in 1 tablespoon.

    \[ 21 \text{ tablespoons} = 21 \times 3 \text{ teaspoons} = 63 \text{ teaspoons} \]

  2. Convert minutes to hours:
    There are 60 minutes in 1 hour.

    \[ \text{Rate in teaspoons per hour} = 63 \text{ teaspoons per minute} \times 60 \text{ minutes} = 3780 \text{ teaspoons per hour} \]

Thus, the equivalent rate is:

\[ 21 \text{ tablespoons per minute} = 3780 \text{ teaspoons per hour} \]
