Conversion Formula
The formula for converting milliliters (ml) to tablespoons (tbsp) is:
tablespoons = milliliters ÷ 14.7868
This works because 1 tablespoon is equal to 14.7868 milliliters. So to find how many tablespoons are in a certain amount of milliliters, you divide the milliliters by 14.7868. For example, converting 10 ml to tablespoons:
- 10 ml ÷ 14.7868 = 0.6763 tablespoons
The number 14.7868 is the exact volume, in milliliters, that one tablespoon holds, so dividing by it converts ml into tbsp.
Conversion Example
- Convert 30 ml to tablespoons:
- Start with 30 ml
- Divide 30 by 14.7868
- 30 ÷ 14.7868 = 2.0288 tablespoons
- So, 30 ml equals about 2.0288 tablespoons
- Convert 5 ml to tablespoons:
- 5 ml ÷ 14.7868 = 0.3381 tablespoons
- This means 5 ml is roughly one-third tablespoons
- Convert 50 ml to tablespoons:
- 50 ÷ 14.7868 = 3.3807 tablespoons
- So, 50 ml correspond to just over 3 tablespoons
- Convert 1 ml to tablespoons:
- 1 ÷ 14.7868 = 0.0676 tablespoons
- This shows how small 1 ml is compared to a tablespoon
