minus-squarexmunk@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up33·11 months agoLook, when someone asks “How many teaspoons in a quart?” we all want to jump off a fucking bridge.
minus-squareharmsy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·11 months ago3 teaspoons in a tablespoon. 16 tablespoons in a cup 4 cups in a quart. 3x16x4=192 teaspoons in a quart.
minus-squareSubstance_P@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·11 months agoIs that a metric or imperial cup and teaspoon?
minus-squareharmsy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·11 months agoIt’s Murrikan cup and teaspoon.
minus-squarexor@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·11 months agoAh right, quick adjustments needed then, one UK cup is 25/24ths of a US cup, and a UK teaspoon is 0.986 US ones Simple 👍
minus-squareBastingChemina@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·11 months agoExcept if it’s Maple syrup, in this case the cup is probably a Canadian cup. One Canadian cup is 0.96076 US cup. Imperial is great !
minus-squareHamartiogonic@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·11 months agoMuch more exciting than just moving the decimal point when doing conversions, isn’t it. You never know if you’ve made a mistake somewhere along the way by multiplying with 14 instead of 12. So much fun.
