If 1 teaspoon is approximately 5 mL, and 3 teaspoons is approximately 1 tablespoon, how many tablespoons is 195 mL?
---
[Answer Box]
---
Explanation:
To solve the problem, follow these steps:
1. Determine how many milliliters 1 tablespoon contains:
- Since 3 teaspoons equal 1 tablespoon, and each teaspoon is 5 mL:
\[
1 \text{ tablespoon} = 3 \times 5 \text{ mL} = 15 \text{ mL}
\]
2. Convert 195 mL to tablespoons:
\[
\frac{195 \text{ mL}}{15 \text{ mL per tablespoon}} = 13 \text{ tablespoons}
\]
So, 195 mL is equivalent to approximately 13 tablespoons.
This exercise helps in understanding basic unit conversions between teaspoons, tablespoons, and milliliters, which is useful in both scientific and culinary contexts.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F308ceb38-0706-4842-834f-0067ef9276f7%2F80df69e6-d7eb-4a04-bc21-10cc2405d28b%2F2rfzh6_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
