What Is Half of 1½ Tablespoons?
Half of 1½ tablespoons is ¾ tablespoon.

How to measure ¾ tablespoon
- With standard cups & spoons: 2 tsp + 1/4 tsp
- By volume: 11.1 ml, or 0.38 fluid ounces — handy if you have a measuring jug.
- By weight (most accurate): see the gram table below for common ingredients.
Spoon measurements scale on a simple ladder: 1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons, and 1 teaspoon = 2 half-teaspoons = 4 quarter-teaspoons. So half of 1½ tablespoons works out to 2 tsp + 1/4 tsp — every part of it comes straight from a standard measuring spoon set.
