Solution Steps

The given conversion states that 6 teaspoons (tsp) is equivalent to 30 milliliters (mL).

We are provided with the information that 1 teaspoon is equivalent to 5 milliliters. Therefore, we can calculate the equivalent milliliters for 6 teaspoons: \[ 6 \text{ tsp} \times 5 \frac{\text{mL}}{\text{tsp}} = 30 \text{ mL} \] This confirms that the given conversion is correct.

1. 1 teaspoon is equivalent to 5 milliliters.
   • This statement is true and matches the given information.
2. Milliliter is a household unit of measurement.
   • This statement is true; milliliters are commonly used in household measurements.
3. There are 30 milliliters in 3 teaspoons.
   • This statement is false. Using the conversion, 3 teaspoons would be: \[ 3 \text{ tsp} \times 5 \frac{\text{mL}}{\text{tsp}} = 15 \text{ mL} \]
4. Teaspoon is a metric unit of measurement.
   • This statement is false. Teaspoons are not part of the metric system; they are part of the US customary and British imperial systems.
