15 tablespoons (tbsp) to milliliters (mL)

Hey there, young potter! Today, we’re going to talk about how to measure ingredients for your pottery projects, especially when you need to mix some cool stuff together. We have something called tablespoons, which is a way to measure liquids. But sometimes, you might need to think in terms of milliliters (or mL for short) to get the exact amount you need for your creations.

So, here’s the cool part: 1 tablespoon is equal to 15 milliliters. That means if we want to find out how many milliliters are in 15 tablespoons, we just need to multiply:

$$
15 \text{ tbsp} \times 15 \text{ mL/tbsp} = 225 \text{ mL}
$$

This means that 15 tablespoons of liquid is the same as 225 milliliters! This is super useful to know, especially if you want to make sure your clay or glaze mixes perfectly.

To get a better idea, here are 7 objects that are exactly equal to 225 milliliters (or the 15 tablespoons you measured):

  1. A small glass of water (often used for drinking)
  2. A juice box
  3. A shot glass full of liquid
  4. A yogurt container (the small cups)
  5. Half of a standard mug filled with liquid
  6. A small mixing bowl filled with glaze
  7. A standard measuring cup filled to the 225 mL line

Now you can see how useful it is to understand measurements in both tablespoons and milliliters! This will help you a lot when you mix your materials for pottery! Keep creating and experimenting!
