"teaspoonful" is not a metric unit of measurement.
One has to know how many ml are in a teaspoonful
Once you have looked that up, set up a ratio.
24g/120 ml = x g/"teaspoonful" ml
cross-multiply and solve for x

.24g/120 ml = x g/"teaspoonful" ml, sorry I dropped the decimal in front of 24 g
....
x = .01 g
I leave it up to you to convert .01 g to mg.
....
x = .01 g
