Answer: 18.49 g
Explanation:
1) First you need to know how many grams of salt are in a full teaspon.
Doing research you can find 1 teaspoon of salt = 5.69 grams
2) Second, set such ratio:
1 teaspon
----------------
5.69 grams
3) Third, convert three 1/4th teaspoon to numbers:
3 + 1/4 = (3*4 + 1) / 4 = (12 + 1) / 4 = 13 / 4
4) Fourth, set a ratio with 13/4 teaspoon the unknown amount of salt in grams:
13/4 teaspoon
-------------------
x
5) Fifth, set a proportion with the two ratios:
1 teaspoon 13/4 teaspoon
---------------- = -----------------------
5.69 g x
6) Finally, solve for x
x = 13/4 teaspoon * 5.69 g / 1 teaspoon
x = 18.49 g.
