How many milliliters are in 3 tbs of milk? Conversion factors: 5 mL = 1 tsp, and 3 tsp = 1 tbs. Show all work using dimensional analysis
First, we need to convert tablespoons to teaspoons. Since 3 tsp = 1 tbs, we can multiply 3 tbs by 3 tsp/tbs to cancel out the tablespoons and get the conversion in teaspoons:
3 tbs * (3 tsp/1 tbs) = 9 tsp
Next, we need to convert teaspoons to milliliters. Since 5 mL = 1 tsp, we can multiply 9 tsp by 5 mL/tsp to cancel out the teaspoons and get the conversion in milliliters:
9 tsp * (5 mL/1 tsp) = 45 mL
Therefore, there are 45 milliliters in 3 tablespoons of milk.
To find out how many milliliters are in 3 tablespoons (tbs) of milk using dimensional analysis and the given conversion factors, we can set up the following calculations:
First, we'll convert tablespoons (tbs) to teaspoons (tsp) using the conversion factor: 3 tsp = 1 tbs.
3 tbs * (3 tsp / 1 tbs) = 9 tsp.
Next, we'll convert teaspoons (tsp) to milliliters (mL) using the conversion factor: 5 mL = 1 tsp.
9 tsp * (5 mL / 1 tsp) = 45 mL.
Therefore, 3 tablespoons (tbs) of milk is equal to 45 milliliters (mL).
