About converting Milliliters to Tablespoons

Rule of thumb: going from Milliliters to Tablespoons divides, so the figure always shrinks — it takes about 14.7868 Milliliters to make a single Tablespoon. If your answer came out bigger, you have the conversion the wrong way round.
What is a Milliliter?
A milliliter is one thousandth of a liter, and it is exactly the same size as a cubic centimetre — the "cc" stamped on engines and syringes measures precisely the same thing. That equivalence is quietly useful: a 600 cc motorcycle engine and a 600 mL bottle of water occupy identical volumes, so figures from medicine and mechanics can be compared without any translation at all. The milliliter dominates wherever small quantities must be stated unambiguously: pharmacy, laboratory work, cosmetics and airline carry-on liquid limits are all written in mL rather than in spoons or ounces.
What is a Tablespoon?
A tablespoon in US cooking is three teaspoons, or half a US fluid ounce — a definition tidy enough that the whole kitchen spoon system hangs off it. The trap is international: the Australian tablespoon is 20 mL, four teaspoons rather than three, so an Australian recipe followed with an American spoon falls short on every tablespoon it calls for. It is also worth knowing that a tablespoon as a measure has nothing to do with whatever spoon is in your cutlery drawer. The sets sold for cooking are calibrated; the ones you eat with are not.
To put both in perspective: a standard wine pour is about 150 milliliters, while a tablespoon is roughly a generous spoonful of olive oil.
