Ok before you get all in a huff about this being a stupid question, I was raised to believe a tablespoon is always equal to three teaspoons.
You can even go to google and it will tell you .333 teaspoons in a tablespoon.
I am putting together a wall chart to hang in my wine room so I went here:

I understand that different materials are going to have different per teaspoon weight.We should all get that, but how could a tablespoon weigh differently than three teaspoons using the same measuring method? For the select items shown below, it varies between 3.3 tablespoons and 2.7 tablespoons. That's a 10% variance on the high side and even more on the low side right? In the last case you might be doubling/halving your addition of sorbate! Which one would be properly used to extrapolate multigallon batches?
Here's a quick graphic:
Yea, I know... get a job... too much time on my hands... etc...heh
