Measuring Liquids

The simplest things to measure are liquids, as they usually weigh as much as they measure in ounces. They either fill the space of the measuring container or melt to fill the container. For example, 4 ounces of a liquid is half a cup, and it actually weighs 4 ounces.
What is a cup?

It is a volume unit, and 1 cup equals 48US tsp, 1 Imperial cup equals 45 Imperial tsp and 1 metric cup equals 50 metric tsp.
How to convert cups to teaspoons?

As mentioned above, 1 cup equals 48tsp. Therefore, for turning cups into a teaspoon, you need to multiply the cup value by 48. For example,

For converting 1/4 cup to tsp, multiply 0.25*48 = 12tsp. This means that ¼ cup is equal to tsp. Hence the formula is,

Teaspoon= cup*48
