16 teaspoons 6 tablespoons 1 teaspoon

1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons

Convert both sides to teaspoons, the smallest unit.

The left side is already converted to teaspoons.

Now, convert the right side to teaspoons.

Convert 6 tablespoons to teaspoons:

6 × 3 = 18

Now, add 1 teaspoon:

18 + 1 = 19

The left side is 16 teaspoons. The right side is 19 teaspoons.

16 < 19

16 teaspoons < 6 tablespoons 1 teaspoon
