Answer :
45 milliliters (mL) to tablespoons (tbsp) is b. 3 tbsp.
Standard conversion is :
1 tbsp = 15 mL
Using this conversion factor, we can set up a simple division to find the number of tablespoons in 45 mL:
Number of tablespoons=15 mL/tbsp45 mL
Calculating this, we get:
Number of tablespoons=3 tbsp
Final answer:
To convert 45 mL to tablespoons, divide by 14.787, resulting in approximately 3.045 tbsp. Rounding to the nearest option, 45 mL is equivalent to 3 tablespoons.
Explanation:
To convert milliliters (mL) to tablespoons (tbsp), we can use the following conversion: 1 tablespoon is approximately 14.787 milliliters. To find out how many tablespoons are in 45 milliliters, we divide 45 mL by 14.787 mL.
45 mL ÷ 14.787 mL/tbsp ≈ 3.045 tbsp
Since we need to provide an answer that is within the options given, we round to the nearest half tablespoon. The closest option to 3.045 tbsp is 3 tbsp. Therefore, 45 mL of a medication is approximately 3 tablespoons.
