Can someone help me out here please? I do not know how to solve this problem nor where to start?

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! :)

Here is how to start

Step-by-step explanation:    7  2  13  42

1 milliliter is one one thousands of a liter      1 milliliter  = 0.001 liter

1000 milliliter is equal to 1 liter

How many 5 milliliter test tubes are in 1 liter?

1000 milliliter / 5 milliliter per test tube   =    test tubes
