Question

If \[\dfrac{1}{4}\] of a teaspoon is \[1\] ml, then how many milliliters are in \[6\] teaspoons?
(a) \[10\]ml
(b) \[12.5\]ml
(c) \[15\]ml
(d) \[20\]ml
(e) \[24\]ml

Answer 1

Hint: This problem is based on the unitary method. First, let us see how to convert a common unit of volume, teaspoons (tsp) to milliliters (mL). Here, we need to calculate how many milliliters are in \[6\] tsp by using the unitary method. The formula of the unitary method is to find the value of a single unit and then multiply the value of a single unit to the number of units to get the necessary value. The given problem says that If a \[\dfrac{1}{4}\] of a teaspoon is \[1\]ml. so, \[1\] teaspoon = \[1 \times 4\] ml = \[4\] ml.

Complete step-by-step solution:
In this given question,
we need to determine the measurements in Milliliters.
we are given the problem, \[\dfrac{1}{4}\] teaspoon is \[1\] ml.
Now, we need to write it as in the equation format, we have
\[\dfrac{1}{4}\] teaspoon = \[1\] ml
\[1\] teaspoon = \[1 \times 4\] ml
\[1\] teaspoon = \[4\]ml
So, we need to find for \[6\] teaspoons,
\[6\] teaspoons = \[6 \times 4\] ml
\[6\] teaspoons = \[24\]ml
Hence, for \[6\] teaspoons the measurement in milliliters is \[24\].
From the given question, and the statements mentioned we are in need to find the value of the measurements in milliliters for \[6\] teaspoons with the avail of the statement as \[\dfrac{1}{4}\] teaspoon is \[1\] ml.
Thus, while calculating the answer obtained as \[24\] ml.
Therefore, The correct option is (e).

Note: A milliliter, abbreviated as ml or mL, is a unit of volume in the metric system. One milliliter is equal to one thousandth of a liter, or 1 cubic centimeter. In the imperial system, that's a small amount: \[0.004\] of a cup.
As a result, measurement's components, circumstances, constraints, and theoretical foundations have received a lot of attention. For a comparison of various systems and their creation history, see measurement method.
