Convert tablespoons to fluid ounces

Q: How many fluid ounces are in a tablespoon?

1 tablespoon = 0.5 fluid ounces. One tablespoon is 0.5 fluid ounces, so multiply by 0.5 to convert. That factor is exact by definition. This is the US tablespoon of 14.7868 mL. A metric tablespoon is 15 mL and an Australian one is 20 mL. This is the US fluid ounce of 29.5735 mL. An imperial (UK) fluid ounce is 28.4131 mL — smaller, because there are 20 to an imperial pint rather than 16.
