5 mL equals how many tsp?

• A. 1 tsp
• B. 2 tsp
• C. 0.5 tsp
• D. 1.5 tsp

Answer: (A)

Converting between milliliters and teaspoons is the concept tested. One teaspoon equals five milliliters, so five milliliters is exactly one teaspoon. The other options would correspond to different volumes: ten milliliters is two teaspoons, two and a half milliliters is half a teaspoon, and seven and a half milliliters is one and a half teaspoons. Memorizing 5 mL = 1 tsp helps quickly translate liquid medication measurements in veterinary practice.
