What is the equivalent of 1 tablespoon in milliliters?

• A. 5 mL
• B. 15 mL
• C. 25 mL
• D. 30 mL

Answer: (B)

One tablespoon is equal to 15 milliliters. In cooking, a tablespoon equals three teaspoons, and a teaspoon is 5 mL, so 3 × 5 mL = 15 mL. Therefore, 1 tablespoon corresponds to 15 milliliters. The other options represent either a single teaspoon (5 mL), two tablespoons (30 mL), or a nonstandard amount (25 mL).
