T/day = 1 T/3 tsp x 2 tsp/6 hrs x 24 hrs/1 day.Multiply all the numerators (1 x 2 x 24 = 48).Multiply all the denominators (3 x 6 x 1 = 18).48/18 = 2.66.Household measurements use fractions,not decimals.Convert 0.66 into a fraction by placing 66/100 which reduces to 2/3;therefore,the answer is 2 2/3 T will be taken each day.
