Samantha Mitchell Profile Samantha Mitchell answered It is not possible to calculate this for you with the given information. Unfortunately, you are trying to convert to different types of measurements without proper data.
  • Milligrams are a measure of mass/ weight and teaspoons are a measure of volume.
In other words, you have to be able to convert the milligrams into a liquid in order to measure volume instead of mass/weight. This also leads to different items weighing differently. A half a teaspoon of a powder or a liquid is just that; a half a teaspoon. When you use a powder you can weigh it on a scale to determine how many grams it weighs and find the milligrams with it. If you try to weigh a liquid it will not work the same way because a liquid is based on volume.
  • One method of conversion
A milligram is equivalent to 0.001 grams. Now there is one thing you can try to do to assess the answer, but this is based on a conversion of teaspoon to grams where there is water involved, i.e. 1 teaspoon = 5 ml = approx 5 grams of water. It means that if you have 0.5 teaspoons, you will have 2.5 g and from there you can call it 2.5 * 0.001= 2500 mg.Keep in mind this is using water as part of the equation in order to turn the product of a teaspoon into a weight in grams of water, since you have to measure it as a liquid when there is a liquid. If you use a powder as a measurement then it becomes simple to take the weight of the powder by placing it on a scale and finding out the answer. It is a lot easier to use a scale for a powder than try to do an equation to convert the teaspoons to milligrams. Shirley McLean Profile Shirley McLean answered 2500 milligrams equal 1/2 teaspoon. Anonymous Profile Anonymous answered In the US, 1/2 teaspoon would be equal to 2.64 milliliters. In UK measurement, 1/2 tsp is equal to 1.78 milliliters.
