1 answer

To divide 26 tablespoons by 6, we first find out how many whole tablespoons there are and what remains.

  1. Dividing 26 by 6:

    • 26 ÷ 6 = 4 remainder 2.
    • This means there are 4 whole tablespoons and a remainder of 2 tablespoons.
  2. Now, convert the remainder into teaspoons:

    • There are 3 teaspoons in 1 tablespoon, so 2 tablespoons = 2 × 3 = 6 teaspoons.
  3. Putting it all together:

    • The result is 4 tablespoons and 6 teaspoons.

Thus, 26 tablespoons divided by 6 equals 4 tablespoons 6 teaspoons.
