What is the fluid ounce equivalent of 2 tablespoons?

• A. 1 fluid ounce
• B. 2 fluid ounces
• C. 0.5 fluid ounces
• D. 3 fluid ounces

Answer: (A)

In US cooking measurements, a tablespoon is half a fluid ounce. That means every time you have another tablespoon, you add 0.5 fluid ounces. So 2 tablespoons equal 1 fluid ounce. You can think of it this way: 16 tablespoons make 1 cup, and 8 fluid ounces make 1 cup, so each tablespoon is 0.5 fluid ounces, and 2 of them add up to 1 fluid ounce. Therefore the correct equivalent is 1 fluid ounce. The other options don’t fit because they would correspond to 1, 4, or 6 tablespoons respectively.
