To solve this equation, we want to find out what percentage of 15 gives us 3. We can set up the equation \( x\% \times 15 = 3 \). Converting the percentage to decimal gives us \( \frac{x}{100} \times 15 = 3 \). Solving for \( x \) involves manipulating the equation: \( x = \frac{3 \times 100}{15} \), which simplifies to \( x = 20\). So, 20% of 15 equals 3! As for the statements, the statement "2 tablespoons = 6 teaspoons" is not true. In fact, 1 tablespoon equals 3 teaspoons, so 2 tablespoons equal 6 teaspoons indeed. All other statements are correct: 120 cups indeed equals 1 gallon, 2 cups equal 1 pint, and 4 cups equal 1 quart. Happy measuring!
