CCBMA Math And Dosage Calculations Practice Test

How many milliliters are in 1 teaspoon?

2 mL 10 mL 5 mL 15 mL

Correct Answer:

5 mL

Explanation:

A teaspoon is defined as 5 milliliters in metric dosing. So, 1 teaspoon equals 5 mL, and this is the standard conversion used in medicines and recipes. Since 1 tablespoon equals 15 mL, that means it’s three teaspoons. Therefore, the correct amount for 1 teaspoon is 5 mL. The other options would correspond to smaller or larger measures: 2 mL is too small, 10 mL is two teaspoons, and 15 mL is a tablespoon.
