Final Answer:
The scoop size #12 is approximately equivalent to 4 tablespoons (Tbps), differing from the other measurements provided.(Option b)
Step-by-step explanation:
The scoop size #12 is often used in the culinary field, particularly in measuring ice cream or other bulk items. When comparing the measurements given, it's important to note that a size #12 scoop generally holds around 79 mL, equivalent to 2-3/4 oz. To determine the equivalent measurement in tablespoons (Tbps) and cups, we can use conversion factors. (Option b)
Firstly, 79 mL is equivalent to approximately 5.3 tablespoons (Tbps) when considering that 1 tablespoon is roughly 14.79 mL. To confirm, dividing 79 mL by 14.79 mL per tablespoon gives us approximately 5.34, rounded to 5.3 when considering significant figures.
Secondly, the conversion between ounces and tablespoons is approximately 1 fluid ounce equals 2 tablespoons. Hence, 2-3/4 oz translates to 5.5 tablespoons.
However, when converting 79 mL to cups, it equals approximately 1/3 cup. Since all the options align except for option b (4 Tbps), which is closer to 1/4 cup (1/4 cup is equivalent to 4 tablespoons), the correct answer is b. 4 Tbps, as it deviates the most from the equivalent measures of the #12 scoop, confirming that it's not roughly equivalent to the others listed.
