US tablespoons to teaspoons multiplies by 3. Two tablespoons are 6 teaspoons; the conversion lets you measure a tablespoon quantity with a teaspoon when the larger spoon is dirty or missing. Watch for non-US recipes: the Australian tablespoon is 4 teaspoons (20 mL vs 15 mL), so blindly applying the ×3 rule to an Australian recipe under-measures by a quarter. UK, Canadian, and US tablespoons all use the 3-teaspoon convention.
Recipe adjustments for spice intensity — halving a tablespoon of a strong ingredient like cayenne into more controllable teaspoon increments — use this simple 3:1 ratio. 1 tbsp is 3 tsp exactly; 2 tbsp is 6 tsp; 0.5 tbsp is 1.5 tsp. This is the most memorised of all volume conversions in a working kitchen, since cooks constantly split a tablespoon of a potent ingredient into teaspoon-sized additions to taste rather than adding it all at once.

A US tablespoon of olive oil is about 14 mL. Nutrition labels typically use 1 tbsp = 15 mL. In teaspoons, that gives you: 1 tbsp = 3 tsp, 10 tbsp = 30 tsp, 100 tbsp = 300 tsp.
The US tablespoon equals 1/2 US fluid ounce, or 14.7868 mL — exactly 3 US teaspoons. The UK tablespoon is 17.7582 mL (5/8 imperial fl oz), the Australian metric tablespoon is 20 mL, and most other metric countries use 15 mL. Always check the source's convention before scaling a recipe.
The US teaspoon equals 1/3 of a US tablespoon, or about 4.929 mL. The metric teaspoon (used on most non-US nutrition labels) is exactly 5 mL — close enough that you can substitute freely in cooking but not in precise dosing.
