Question

A client reports taking 6 teaspoons of an elixir. (two answers) How many tablespoons of elixir were ingested? How many milliliters?

A) 2 tbsp, 30 mL
B) 3 tbsp, 45 mL
C) 4 tbsp, 60 mL
D) 5 tbsp, 75 mL

Answer 1

a. To convert teaspoons to tablespoons, divide the number of teaspoons by 3. To convert teaspoons to milliliters, multiply the number of teaspoons by 4.93.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert teaspoons to tablespoons, we divide the number of teaspoons by 3.

6 teaspoons / 3 = 2 tablespoons

To convert teaspoons to milliliters, we multiply the number of teaspoons by 4.93.

6 teaspoons x 4.93 = 29.58 milliliters

Therefore, the correct answer is option A) 2 tbsp, 30 mL.
