To determine the number of teaspoons in grams for a given food or beverage, understanding the conversion factor between grams and teaspoons is essential. One teaspoon is generally considered to hold approximately 4 grams of a substance when measuring dry ingredients. Therefore, to find out how many teaspoons are in a certain weight in grams, you would divide the weight in grams by 4.

Using this formula, if you have a certain number of grams and divide by 4, you will get the equivalent amount in teaspoons, aligning with the choice indicating 4 as the denominator. This principle is particularly useful in nutrition and dietary assessments, where precise measurements are necessary for dietary planning and evaluation.

The other options do not reflect the standard conversion for teaspoons to grams, meaning they would yield incorrect values when trying to derive the number of teaspoons from grams. Thus, the chosen option is the only one that accurately reflects the common conversion used in nutritional contexts.
