according to the info how many teaspoons are equal to 3/8cup?
1/4 cup = 4 tables spoon
2/8 cup = 4 tables spoon
3/8 cup = 6 tables spoon
= 6*3 teaspoon = 18 teaspoon

I think this is the simplest way!

3 teaspoons = 1 table spoon
4 tables spoon = 1/4 cup

according to the info how many teaspoons are equal to 3/8cup?

1/4 cup = 4 table spoons

1 cup = 4*4 = 16 tablespoons

3/8 cup = 16 * 3/8 = 6 tablespoons

1 Tablespoon = 3 teaspoons

Therefore 6 tablespoons = 6*3 = 18 teaspoons

3/8 cup = (1/4 cup ) * 3/2
= (4) * 3/2 table spoons
= (4 * 3) * 3/2 tea spoons
= 12 * 3/2 tea spoons
= 36/2 tea spoons
= 18 tea spoons
