Answer:
200 test tubes will fill the container
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
We need to find out how many 5 milliliter tubes will fill a 1 liter container
First, let's convert everything to the same unit, as the tubes and the container are in different units.
Let's do milliliters, as those are smaller than liters and we will avoid having decimals.
there are 1,000 milliliters in a liter (the unit prefix "milli-" means "thousand")
Let's say the number of test tubes needed to fill the container is x
As each tube has 5 milliliters of water, 5x milliliters will equal 1,000 milliliters (1 liter)
as an equation, that's
5x=1,000
divide both sides by 5
x=200
So that means 200 test tubes will fill the container
Hope this helps! :)
