You are filling a 5-L fish tank using a 250-mL container. How many full containers are required to fill the fish tank?
A.
10 containers
B.
16 containers
C.
20 containers
D.
25 containers
There are 1000 mL in 1 L. Therefore, the fish tank holds 5 L or 5000 mL of water.
To find the number of full containers required, we can divide the total volume of the fish tank by the volume of each container:
5000 mL รท 250 mL = 20 containers
Therefore, 20 full containers are required to fill the fish tank.
The answer is option C) 20 containers.

You're welcome! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. :)
To find out how many full containers are required to fill the fish tank, we need to calculate the total volume of the tank and then divide it by the volume of each container.
The fish tank has a capacity of 5 liters, which is equivalent to 5000 mL (1 liter = 1000 mL).
Each container has a volume of 250 mL.
Divide the total tank volume by the volume of each container:
5000 mL / 250 mL = 20 containers.
So, the correct answer is C. 20 containers.
