Teaspoon (Metric): in the metric system, the teaspoon is not a standardized unit of volume. The metric system primarily uses the liter and its subunits, such as milliliters, for measuring volume. However, in culinary contexts, especially in recipes, people might refer to a "teaspoon" for convenience, as 1 metric teaspoon is often considered to be roughly equivalent to 5 milliliters.
Gallon (Imperial): unit of volume in the imperial system of measurement, historically used in the United Kingdom and its former colonies. The imperial gallon is approximately 20% larger than the U.S. gallon and is equal to 4,546.09 milliliters.
