Quick estimate in your head
For a rough answer, multiply by about 3: 15 × 3 ≈ 45 tsp, against the exact 45 tsp (0.0% out). Good enough to check that a calculated result is sensible.
Common mistakes
The usual slip is using the factor the wrong way round. A tablespoon is bigger than a teaspoon, so the number of teaspoons must come out larger than the number of tablespoons. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
