If there are 15 mL in 1 tablespoon, then 3 tablespoons should have triple the volume as originally stated.

Note in all of the four choices, the units simplify to mL because tbsp x ml/tbsp = mL (tbsp/tbsp = 1)

The second and third choice give ultimately the same, incorrect value. The fourth option gives an incorrect fraction - there are not 15 mL for every tablespoon. The correct answer is 1 tbsp x 15mL/3tbsp
