How many tablespoons are in 15 milliliters?

• A. 1 tbsp
• B. 0.5 tbsp
• C. 2 tbsp
• D. 3 tbsp

Answer: (A)

One tablespoon is defined as 15 milliliters. To find how many tablespoons are in 15 mL, divide 15 by 15. That gives 1, so 15 mL equals 1 tablespoon. The other options would correspond to 7.5 mL (half a tablespoon), 30 mL (two tablespoons), or 45 mL (three tablespoons). For reference, 1 tablespoon also equals 3 teaspoons.
