Answer: 200

===================================================

Work Shown:

1 liter = 1000 milliliters

1 spoon = 5 milliliters

200*(1 spoon) = 200*(5 milliliters)

200 spoons = 1000 milliliters

200 spoons = 1 liter

Notice how 1000/5 = 200, so that's why I multiplied both sides of the second equation by 200 to end up with what is shown above.
