Crestor (generic name = rosuvastatin) is a cholesterol-lowering medication which helps decrease the amount of fat (lipids) in your bloodstream. Lipids are bad because they can stick to the inside walls of your blood vessels and eventually block them up. Five milligrams (5 mg) is a low dose.

the question makes very little sense- there are obviously 5mg in 5mg. so no amount of 5mg will ever equal 1mg because they are the same units. you would need 1mg for 1mg or 1/5(one-fifth ie. 1) of 5mg
A teaspoon is 5ml or 5g (of water) 5mg is the same as 0.005g So 5mg is 1/1000 (one thousandth) of a teaspoon!
25mg is not half of 5mg its actually 5 times more then 5mg

Traditionally, a drugs half life is under ideal conditions before consumption. An 8 hour half life means that the medication may (not always, just that it is assumed plausible) that the strength of the medication will decrease by half in a certain length of time. In this case, you said 8 hours so we would assume (again, not always the case) that in 8 hours a 10mg medication would be decreased in strength by half giving it the potency of 5mg.
