Tablespoons to Matskedar conversion

How to convert tablespoons to matskedar?

To convert tablespoons (a volume measurement commonly used in the United States) to matskedar (a volume measurement used in Sweden), you need to understand the equivalence between these units.

1 US tablespoon is approximately equal to 0.985 Swedish matskedar. This is because the volume of a US tablespoon is approximately 14.79 milliliters, while a matskedar is exactly 15 milliliters.

So, to convert 1 tablespoon to matskedar: $1 \text{ tablespoon} \times \frac{15 \text{ milliliters (matskedar)}}{14.79 \text{ milliliters (tablespoon)}} \approx 0.985 \text{ matskedar}$

2. Cooking Oil:
