1 tablespoon equals how many milliliters?

• A. 5 ml
• B. 10 ml
• C. 15 ml
• D. 20 ml

Answer: (C)

Converting kitchen measurements to metric units. A tablespoon is defined as three teaspoons, and each teaspoon is 5 milliliters, so one tablespoon equals 5 ml × 3 = 15 ml. That’s why the correct answer is 15 milliliters. This helps when you’re measuring liquids for recipes or care tasks and need to switch between tablespoons and milliliters. For context, five milliliters is just a teaspoon, ten milliliters is two teaspoons, and twenty milliliters is four teaspoons, so they don’t match a full tablespoon.
