Converting milliliters (ml) to US tablespoons (tbsp) is a common task in cooking and baking. Milliliters are a metric unit of volume, while tablespoons are a customary unit in the United States for measuring small quantities of ingredients.
The conversion between these units is straightforward. One US tablespoon is equivalent to approximately 14.7868 milliliters. To convert milliliters to tablespoons, use the following formula:
Tablespoons = Milliliters ÷ 14.7868
Suppose you have 30 milliliters of liquid and want to find out how many tablespoons that is:
Tablespoons = 30 ml ÷ 14.7868 ≈ 2.03 tbsp
Therefore, 30 milliliters is approximately equal to 2.03 US tablespoons.
For practical purposes, especially in recipes, it's helpful to know that 15 milliliters is roughly equivalent to 1 tablespoon. This approximation simplifies measurements and is commonly used in cooking.
