Answer :
To convert tablespoons to fluid ounces, divide the number of tablespoons by the ratio, which is 2 tbsp to 1 fl oz. Monica uses 1.5 fluid ounces of milk in her custard.
The question asks us to convert tablespoons into fluid ounces using the given ratio. Since the ratio is 2 tablespoons to 1 fluid ounce, we can use this to convert the 3 tablespoons Monica uses for her custard. Here are the steps for the conversion:
- Identify the ratio, which is 2 tablespoons : 1 fluid ounce.
- Understand that for every 2 tablespoons, there is 1 fluid ounce.
- Monica uses 3 tablespoons of milk in her custard, so we divide 3 tablespoons by the ratio of tablespoons to fluid ounces, which is 2.
- 3 tablespoons / 2 = 1.5 fluid ounces.
Therefore, Monica uses 1.5 fluid ounces of milk in her custard, which corresponds to option (C).
