Convert tablespoon to minim

Learn how to convert 1 tablespoon to minim step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (t a b l e s p o o n) = x (m i n i m)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(c u b i c m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (t a b l e s p o o n) = 1.478676478125 \times 10^{- 5} (c u b i c m e t e r) = 1.478676478125 \times 10^{- 5} (m^{3})

Right side: 1.0 (m i n i m) = 5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 8} (c u b i c m e t e r) = 5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 8} (m^{3})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (t a b l e s p o o n) = x (m i n i m)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 1.478676478125 \times 10^{- 5} \times (c u b i c m e t e r) = x \times 5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 8} \times (c u b i c m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 1.478676478125 \times 10^{- 5} \cdot (m^{3}) = x \cdot 5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 8} \cdot (m^{3})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 1.478676478125 \times 10^{- 5} \cdot (m^{3}) = x \times 5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 8} \times (m^{3})

Conversion Equation

1.478676478125 \times 10^{- 5} = x \times 5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 8}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

1.478676478125 \times 10^{- 5} = x \times 5.91938802083333 \times {10^{- 8}}^{10^{- 3}}

Simplify

1.478676478125 = x \times 5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 3}

Switch sides

x \times 5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 3} = 1.478676478125

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 3}})

x \times 5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 3} \times \frac{1.0}{5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 3}} = 1.478676478125 \times \frac{1.0}{5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 3}}

Cancel

x \times 5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 3} \times \frac{1.0}{5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 3}} = 1.478676478125 \times \frac{1.0}{5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 3}}

Simplify

x = \frac{1.478676478125}{5.91938802083333 \times 10^{- 3}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 3}} can be rewritten to 10^{3}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{3} \times 1.478676478125}{5.91938802083333}

Solve

x

x \approx 249.80225539 \approx 2.498 \times 10^{2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (t a b l e s p o o n) \approx 2.498 \times 10^{2} (m i n i m)
