Australia: 2/3 tbsp = 2.67 tsp (20 ml tablespoon)
Two-thirds of a tablespoon equals exactly 2 teaspoons (9.86 ml). This is one of the cleanest fractional conversions because the 3:1 ratio of teaspoon-to-tablespoon makes 2/3 tbsp = 2 tsp by direct simplification. To measure it, fill a teaspoon twice (= 2 tsp). It appears in recipes that have been scaled from a 3x batch where a single tablespoon was originally specified. In Australia, 2/3 of a 20 ml tablespoon is 13.3 ml (= 2.67 metric teaspoons).
