Answer:

72 teaspoons

Step-by-step explanation:

12 oz butter

1 Tsp  = 1/2 oz butter

3 tsp  = 1 Tsp

So  we have

                            1 Tsp                           3 tsp

12 oz  butter   x  _____________ x   ___________

                           1/2 oz butter                1Tsp

Cancel units and we get  that

12  x     1  / 1/2     x    3   tsp   =

12  x  2    x  3    tsp   =

12 x  6   tsp  = 72 teaspoons
