How 3 tablespoons of whole milk was converted to grams
One US tablespoon of whole milk weighs 15.3 grams (fifteen point three), so multiply 3 by 15.25.
3 × 15.25 g
≈45.8 grams
(forty-five point eight grams)
The weight of the tablespoon comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 171265 “Milk, whole, 3.25% milkfat, with added vitamin D”, portion “1 cup” = 244 grams, and 1 US cup = 16 US tablespoons. Scooped ingredients vary with how they are filled — spooned in lightly, a tablespoon weighs less; packed down, more — so for baking a kitchen scale is the exact tool and this figure the standard reference.
