You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I was trying to use a more precise conversion factor by using 14.7868 ml per tablespoon.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If 1 tablespoon = 14.7868 ml, then 12 tablespoons = 12(14.7868) = 177.4416 ml\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If you are allowed to use the approximate conversion factor of 1 tablespoon = 15 ml, I would go with that. So 12 tablespoons = 12(15) = 180 ml.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
