How many milliliters are in 1 tablespoon?

• A. 5 ml
• B. 15 ml
• C. 20 ml
• D. 25 ml

Answer: (B)

When you’re converting cooking measurements, a tablespoon is defined as three teaspoons, and a teaspoon is five milliliters. So, 3 × 5 ml equals 15 ml. That makes one tablespoon 15 milliliters. This standard keeps recipes consistent. The other numbers don’t fit because five milliliters is just one teaspoon, twenty milliliters is four teaspoons, and twenty-five milliliters is five teaspoons, none of which equal a tablespoon.
