Answer 1

To convert 5,000 milliliters to liters, you can use the proportion 1 liter / 1,000 milliliters = ? liters / 5,000 milliliters. Solving for ? liters gives us the answer of 5 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert 5,000 milliliters to liters, we can use the proportion: 1 liter / 1,000 milliliters = ? liters / 5,000 milliliters. Cross multiplying, we have 1 liter * 5,000 milliliters = ? liters * 1,000 milliliters. Simplifying, we get 5,000 liters = ? liters * 1,000. Dividing both sides by 1,000, we find that ? liters = 5 liters. Therefore, 5,000 milliliters is equal to 5 liters.
