Answer
The required amount of rice in U.S. measures is $~~2~tablespoons+2~teaspoons$
Work Step by Step
We can calculate the required amount of rice in British teaspoons:
$V = 1~tablespoon$
$V = 2~dessertspoons$
$V = 4~teaspoons$
Note that for dry measures, 1 British teaspoon = 2 U.S. teaspoons.
Therefore the required amount of rice is 8 U.S. teaspoons.
We can express this amount in U.S. measures:
$V = 8~teaspoons$
$V = 2~tablespoons+2~teaspoons$
The required amount of rice in U.S. measures is $~~2~tablespoons+2~teaspoons$
