To determine how many teaspoons are equivalent to 5ml, we need to use the conversion factor of 1 teaspoon (tsp) = 5 ml.
Given that 5ml = 1 tsp, we can write the following equation:
5 ml = 1 tsp
To find how many teaspoons are equivalent to 5 ml, we can solve for tsp:
tsp = 5 ml / 1
Therefore, 5 ml is equal to 1 teaspoon.
To find out how many teaspoons are in 5 ml, we can use the conversion factor:
1 teaspoon (tsp) = 5 milliliters (ml)
So, to convert 5 ml to teaspoons, we can divide 5 ml by the conversion factor:
5 ml ÷ 5 ml/tsp = 1 tsp
Therefore, 5 ml is equal to 1 teaspoon.
