Explanation:

Step1: Find tablespoons in 1/4 cup

To find the number of tablespoons in $\frac{1}{4}$ cup, we multiply the number of tablespoons in 1 cup (16) by $\frac{1}{4}$. So, $16\times\frac{1}{4} = 4$ tablespoons.

Step2: Convert tablespoons to teaspoons

Since there are 3 teaspoons in 1 tablespoon, we multiply the number of tablespoons (4) by 3. So, $4\times3 = 12$ teaspoons.

Answer:

12 teaspoons
