Answer: 25 cartons

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

Step-by-step explanation:

1 liter = 1000 mL

Note how 1000/200 = 5, which means that if one carton is 200 mL, then five cartons gets us 5*200 = 1000 mL = 1 liter. If it takes five cartons to get 1 liter, then we'll need five times as many cartons to get to 5 liters. So 5*5 = 25 cartons is our goal.

---------

We could also solve like this

(1 carton)/(200 mL) = (x cartons)/(5000 mL)

1/200 = x/5000

1*5000 = 200x .... cross multiply

5000 = 200x

200x = 5000

x = 5000/200 ..... divide both sides by 200

x = 25
