Instructions

    • 1

      Start by considering how many teaspoons make up a tablespoon. Every tablespoon contains 3 teaspoons.

    • 2

      Ask yourself how many tablespoons are in 1 cup. A cup has 16 tablespoons, so it has 16x3 or 48 teaspoons.

    • 3

      Remember that every cup has 8 ounces. Divide 48 teaspoons by 8 ounces to get the number of teaspoons in an ounce: 6.

    • 4

      To convert from ounces to teaspoons all you need to do is multiply the number of ounces that you have by 6. If you have a recipe that calls for 3 ounces, simply multiply 3x6, and you'll know that you need 18 teaspoons.
