Where this conversion shows up

Cooking and medicine dosing. A US teaspoon is a defined volume, not whatever spoon is in the drawer, and liquid medicine instructions increasingly give both units for exactly that reason.

Worked example

1 tsp is 4.93 mL, which is why medicine syringes are marked at 5 mL and a dose of "one teaspoon" is dispensed as 5 mL. Three teaspoons make a tablespoon: 14.79 mL.

Rounding and precision

Treat 1 tsp as 5 mL for cooking and dosing — the 0.07 mL difference is far smaller than the error in levelling a spoon. Do not use cutlery for medicine; a kitchen teaspoon can hold anywhere from 3 to 7 mL.
