Australia: 2.5 tbsp = 10 tsp (20 ml tablespoon)

2.5 tablespoons is 7.5 teaspoons, 37 ml, or 1.25 fluid ounces. This sits between 2 tablespoons (1 fl oz, the standard dressing portion) and 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup). Practically you would measure 2 tablespoons plus 1.5 teaspoons (since 0.5 tbsp = 1.5 tsp). The quantity appears in scaled-up baking recipes for butter, sugar, or oil where the base recipe used 2 tablespoons and has been increased by 25 percent. In Australia, 2.5 of a 20 ml tablespoon is 50 ml (= 10 metric teaspoons), which is half a metric cup.
