0.5 Tablespoon to Teaspoon
0.5 tbsp = 1.5 tsp
= 7.4 ml | 0.25 fl oz | 0.0313 cups
Australia: 0.5 tbsp = 2 tsp (20 ml tablespoon)
0.5 tablespoon is exactly the same quantity as half a tablespoon: 1.5 teaspoons, 7.4 ml, or 0.25 fluid ounce. The decimal notation typically appears when recipes are scaled programmatically (such as in a nutrition calculator); the fractional notation 1/2 tbsp is more common in handwritten recipes. The most accurate measurement is 1 teaspoon plus 1/2 teaspoon, rather than trying to half-fill a tablespoon measure (eyeballing the midpoint of a tablespoon is unreliable). See also the fractional page <a href='/half-tablespoon-to-teaspoons'>1/2 tablespoon to teaspoons</a> which covers the same value.
