The scoop size #12 is roughly equivalent to all of the following except which measurement?

A. 4 Tbsp
B. 2-3/4 oz
C. 1/3 cup
D. 79 mL

Answer :

Final answer:

Upon examining the conversions, all options except for 4 tablespoons (a) are closely equivalent in terms of volume. This makes 4 Tbsp (a), which translates to 60 mL, the odd one out as it does not match the 79 mL equivalence of the other options.

Explanation:

The question asks which measurement is not roughly equivalent to a scoop size #12. By referring to standard conversions in cooking and measurements, we can decipher the equivalents and find the odd one out.

  • a) 4 Tbps = 4 tablespoons. Knowing that 1 tablespoon = 15 mL, 4 tablespoons = 60 mL. This is a standard conversion used in cooking.
  • b) 2-3/4 oz = 2.75 ounces. Given that 1 ounce = 28 g (approximately 30 mL), 2.75 ounces is roughly 82.5 mL, making this also a generally accurate comparison.
  • c) 1/3 cup. Since 1 cup = 237 mL, 1/3 of this is about 79 mL, which aligns closely with the volume a scoop size #12 provides.
  • d) 79 mL. This measurement directly corresponds with part (c).

All options except for (a) 4 Tbps (60 mL) are closely equivalent to each other when converted into milliliters, which makes option (a) the odd one out in terms of its volume being slightly different than the 79 mL equivalence.
