1. **State the problem:** Jacob needs to convert 180 mL of sugar into tablespoons, knowing that 1 tablespoon equals 15 mL. 2. **Set up the conversion:** To find the number of tablespoons, divide the total milliliters by the volume per tablespoon: $$\text{tablespoons} = \frac{180 \text{ mL}}{15 \text{ mL per tablespoon}}$$ 3. **Calculate the division:** $$\frac{180}{15} = 12$$ 4. **Round the answer:** Since 12 is already a whole number, rounding to the nearest tenth is still 12.0. **Final answer:** Jacob will need **12.0 tablespoons** of sugar.
