If you consume 1 teaspoon of honey and the label shares that each 1 Tablespoon serving has 18 grams of carbohydrates, how many grams of carbohydrates did you eat? 12 grams carbohydrates 72 grams carbohydrates 06 grams carbohydrates 18 grams carbohydrates
To solve this problem, we'll perform a step-by-step calculation to determine the amount of carbohydrates in a teaspoon of honey when given that one tablespoon contains 18 grams of carbohydrates.
1. Understand the relationship between tablespoons and teaspoons: - There are 3 teaspoons in 1 tablespoon.
2. Given information: - 1 tablespoon of honey contains 18 grams of carbohydrates.
3. Calculate carbohydrates per teaspoon: - Since there are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon, you divide the carbohydrates in one tablespoon by 3 to find the carbohydrates in one teaspoon. - [tex]\( \text{Carbs per teaspoon} = \frac{\text{Carbs per tablespoon}}{\text{Teaspoons per tablespoon}} \)[/tex] - [tex]\( \text{Carbs per teaspoon} = \frac{18\ \text{grams}}{3} \)[/tex]
4. Perform the division: - [tex]\( \frac{18}{3} = 6 \)[/tex]
Therefore, 1 teaspoon of honey contains 6 grams of carbohydrates.
