Question 22864
I was trying to use a more precise conversion factor by using 14.7868 ml per tablespoon.

If 1 tablespoon = 14.7868 ml, then 12 tablespoons = 12(14.7868) = 177.4416 ml

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.
