About tablespoons
The tablespoon (tbsp) evolved from the serving spoons used at the dinner table. As a unit, it was standardized for recipes to mean exactly 3 teaspoons or 1/2 of a fluid ounce in the US (approx. 14.8 mL). In Australia, a tablespoon is defined as 20 mL. It is the largest spoon in a standard measuring set and is crucial for measuring oils, sauces, and leavening agents. tablespoons are commonly used in Recipe ingredients (oil, sugar), Medicine dosing, Serving sizes (e.g., peanut butter), and Coffee grounds.
A coffee scoop is typically 2 tablespoons.
About gallons

This divergence happened when Britain updated its standards in 1824, but the newly independent US stuck with the old wine gallon. Today, the US gallon is the standard for fuel and milk in the United States. gallons are commonly used in Gasoline sales (US), Milk jugs (US), Paint buckets, and Water consumption tracking, Aquarium sizes.
