Question

There are approximately 15 milliliters (mL) in 1 tablespoon (tbsp). Which expression can be used to find the approximate number of milliliters in 3 tbsp?

Answer 1

D: 3tbsp x (15mL/1tbsp)

Explanation:

the guy before did a good job explaning it

basically you want the remaning meauremnet to be mL and in the numerator so that you get a whole number. It asks you for 3 tbsp so 1 tbsp doesn't make sense and if you have a (tbsp x a tbsp)/mL you get tbsp^2 / mL so it wouldn't work

Answer 2

We develop the ratio between the number of milliliters present in 1 tablespoon and that is,
15 mL: 1 tablespoon
We let x be the number of millileter in 3 tbsp and it can be determined through the equation below.
x = 3 tbsp x (15 mL/ 1 tbsp) = 45 mL
Therefore, there are 45 mL in 3 tbsp.
