Frequently Asked Questions
-
What volume does a UK teaspoon represent?
-
A UK teaspoon traditionally represents about 1/6 of an imperial fluid ounce (approximately 4.736 mL), but in modern use, a metric teaspoon of 5 mL is also common.
-
How large is a US gallon in liters?
-
A US gallon is defined as exactly 231 cubic inches, which is equal to 3.785411784 liters.
-
Why might conversions give very small numbers?
-
Because a gallon is much larger than a teaspoon, converting small teaspoon amounts results in very small fractional gallon values.
