What is an acre-inch used to measure?

An acre-inch measures the volume of liquid or material covering one acre area to a depth of one inch, commonly used in agriculture and reservoir storage.

Why are there different values for the UK teaspoon?

Historically the UK teaspoon was about 4.736 mL, but many modern recipes and labels use a 5 mL metric teaspoon, leading to variations.

Is using teaspoons practical for measuring large agricultural volumes?

Teaspoons are generally impractical for large volumes but useful for converting those volumes into smaller units for calculations or illustrative purposes.
