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.
