Certainly! Let's work through the problem step-by-step using the provided information.

### Ingredients List:
- 600 g samp
- 500 mL beans
- 1.5 L water
- 1 beef stock cube
- 2 teaspoons curry spice
- 3 tablespoons cooking oil
- Pinch of salt

### Conversion Information:
1. 1 cup [tex]$\Leftrightarrow$[/tex] 250 mL
2. 1 teaspoon (tsp) [tex]$\Leftrightarrow$[/tex] 5 mL
3. 1 tablespoon (tbs) [tex]$\Leftrightarrow$[/tex] 15 mL
4. 1 cup [tex]$\Leftrightarrow$[/tex] 200 g

Given the recipe, the goal is to determine the necessary conversions to better understand the quantities of each ingredient when preparing the dish.

### Step-by-Step Solution

1. Convert the 600 g of samp to cups:
- According to the conversion table, 1 cup = 200 g.
- Therefore, the number of cups of samp we need is:
[tex]\[ \text{Cups of samp} = \frac{600 \text{ g}}{200 \text{ g/cup}} = 3 \text{ cups} \][/tex]

2. Convert the 500 mL of beans to cups:
- According to the conversion table, 1 cup = 250 mL.
- Therefore, the number of cups of beans we need is:
[tex]\[ \text{Cups of beans} = \frac{500 \text{ mL}}{250 \text{ mL/cup}} = 2 \text{ cups} \][/tex]

3. Convert the 1.5 L of water to cups:
- First, convert liters to milliliters, knowing that 1 L = 1000 mL.
- Thus, 1.5 L = 1500 mL.
- According to the conversion table, 1 cup = 250 mL.
[tex]\[ \text{Cups of water} = \frac{1500 \text{ mL}}{250 \text{ mL/cup}} = 6 \text{ cups} \][/tex]

4. Convert 2 teaspoons of curry spice to milliliters:
- According to the conversion table, 1 teaspoon = 5 mL.
- Therefore, the quantity of curry spice in milliliters is:
[tex]\[ \text{Milliliters of curry spice} = 2 \times 5 \text{ mL} = 10 \text{ mL} \][/tex]

5. Convert 3 tablespoons of cooking oil to milliliters:
- According to the conversion table, 1 tablespoon = 15 mL.
- Therefore, the quantity of cooking oil in milliliters is:
[tex]\[ \text{Milliliters of cooking oil} = 3 \times 15 \text{ mL} = 45 \text{ mL} \][/tex]

### Summary of Conversions:
- Samp: 3 cups
- Beans: 2 cups
- Water: 6 cups
- Curry Spice: 10 mL
- Cooking Oil: 45 mL

By following these conversions, Ms. Susan Magoda can now accurately measure and prepare her ingredients for her favourite Samp and Beans dish.
