Final answer:
To find out how many 5-milliliter spoons are required to fill 1 liter of liquid, convert liters to milliliters and then divide by the spoon's capacity. It takes 200 spoons to fill 1 liter.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine how many 5-milliliter spoons would fill 1 liter of liquid, we need to apply a unit conversion from liters to milliliters. Since 1 liter is equivalent to 1,000 milliliters, to convert 1 liter to milliliters, we multiply by 1,000:
1 liter × 1,000 = 1,000 milliliters
Next, we divide the total milliliters by the capacity of one spoon (5 milliliters) to find out how many spoons are needed:
1,000 milliliters ÷ 5 milliliters/spoon = 200 spoons.
Therefore, it will take 200 spoons of 5 milliliters each to fill 1 liter of liquid.
