The teaspoon
The US teaspoon equals 1/3 of a US tablespoon, or about 4.929 mL. The metric teaspoon (used on most non-US nutrition labels) is exactly 5 mL — close enough that you can substitute freely in cooking but not in precise dosing.
280 Teaspoons to Milliliters
280 tsp = 1380.1 mL (teaspoon → milliliter)
280 tsp = 1380.1 mL
280 teaspoons (tsp) equals 1380.1 milliliters (mL). The conversion uses the exact factor 4.92892: 280 × 4.92892 = 1380.1.
Formula
Milliliters = Teaspoons × 4.92892Quick

When to use teaspoons → milliliters
US teaspoons to millilitres multiplies by 4.92892 (1 US tsp = 4.92892 mL), universally rounded to 5 mL in cooking and medicine. A 5 mL medicine dose is one level teaspoon, though kitchen teaspoons vary enough that pharmacies supply a 5 mL oral syringe for accuracy. Three teaspoons make one tablespoon (14.79 mL). For baking leaveners and salt, the small absolute volumes mean the rounding to 5 mL rarely changes the result.
Paediatric and veterinary dosing instructions printed in teaspoons get converted to millilitres to match the graduated oral syringe that actually ships with the medication. 1 tsp is 4.929 mL, commonly rounded to 5 mL on packaging for simplicity; 2 tsp is 9.858 mL; 0.5 tsp is 2.465 mL. Because pharmacies round the “standard teaspoon” to a clean 5 mL for dosing purposes, always follow the syringe markings on the package rather than converting the true 4.929 mL teaspoon value yourself.

About the teaspoon and the milliliter
The milliliter
The milliliter (mL) is a metric unit of volume equal to one-thousandth of a liter, or one cubic centimeter. It is the everyday unit for medication dosing, beverage sizes outside the US, and cooking in most of the world. Note that a US fluid ounce is 29.5735 mL, while a UK fluid ounce is 28.4131 mL.
