How many milliliters are in a tablespoon?

  • A. 10 ml
  • B. 15 ml
  • C. 5 ml
  • D. 20 ml
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 15 ml. One tablespoon is equivalent to 15 milliliters. The conversion factor for tablespoons to milliliters is 1 tablespoon = 15 milliliters. Choice A (10 ml) is incorrect because it is not the standard conversion for a tablespoon. Choice C (5 ml) is incorrect as it is too low for a tablespoon. Choice D (20 ml) is incorrect as it is too high for a tablespoon. Therefore, the correct conversion is 15 milliliters for one tablespoon.
