There are 480 grains of rice in one cup. If half a cup is 8 tablespoons and one tablespoon is 3 teaspoons, how many grains of rice are in a teaspoon?
First find the number of tablespoons in a full cup: 8 tablespoons/half-cup * 2 half-cups/cup = <T>multiply(8, 2)=16 tablespoons
Then find the total number of teaspoons in a cup: 16 tablespoons/cup * 3 teaspoons/tablespoon = <T>multiply(16, 3)=48 teaspoons
Then find the number of grains of rice per teaspoon: 480 grains / 48 teaspoons = <T>divide(480, 48)=10.0 grains/teaspoon
