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.
The correct answer is:
06 grams carbohydrates
