Which of the following measurements is equivalent to a teaspoonful?

15 ml
5 ml
30 ml
10 ml

The correct answer is: 5 ml

A teaspoonful is equivalent to 5 milliliters (ml). This measurement is widely used in both cooking and medicine to indicate small volumes. The teaspoon is a common unit of measure, and its conversion to milliliters is standardized; thus, knowing that a teaspoonful equals 5 ml is essential for accurately interpreting dosages in medication administration and for cooking measurements. Understanding this conversion helps ensure safety and efficacy in both fields by avoiding overdosing or underdosing due to misinterpretation of measurements.
