Question

which is a better estimate for the volume of a shoebox? 19 cups 19 tablespoons

Explanation:

A tablespoon is a very small unit of volume, suitable for measuring small amounts like spices. A cup is a larger unit, and a shoebox has a much greater volume that aligns better with being measured in cups rather than tablespoons. 19 tablespoons would be an extremely small volume, far too tiny for a shoebox.

Answer:

19 cups
