To convert a measurement in milliliters to a measurement in tablespoons, multiply the volume by the following conversion ratio: 0.067628 tablespoons/milliliter.

Since one milliliter is equal to 0.067628 tablespoons, you can use this simple formula to convert:

tablespoons = milliliters × 0.067628

The volume in tablespoons is equal to the volume in milliliters multiplied by 0.067628.

For example, here's how to convert 5 milliliters to tablespoons using the formula above.
tablespoons = (5 mL × 0.067628) = 0.33814 tbsp

What Is a Milliliter?

The milliliter is a unit of volume equal to 1 cubic centimeter, 1/1,000 of a liter, or about 0.061 cubic inches.[1]

The milliliter is an SI unit of volume in the metric system. In the metric system, "milli" is the prefix for thousandths, or 10-3. A milliliter is sometimes also referred to as a millilitre. Milliliters can be abbreviated as mL, and are also sometimes abbreviated as ml or mℓ. For example, 1 milliliter can be written as 1 mL, 1 ml, or 1 mℓ.

Since one milliliter is equivalent to one cubic centimeter, milliliters are sometimes expressed using the abbreviation for a cubic centimeter (cc) for things such as medical dosages or engine displacements.
