A standard teaspoon holds 5 mL of liquid.

Here is one way of solving this problem:

\n

There are 1000 mL in 1 litre.

\n

1000 mL divided by 5 mL gives 200. So there are 200 teaspoons in each litre.

\n

Multiply the number of litres by 200 to get the number of teaspoons in the whole amount.

\n

{num_litres} x 200 = {num_litres*200}.

\n

\n

For questions of this kind, if you are not using a calculator, it may be helpful to use some of the following proportional reasoning:

\n

1 teaspoon = 5 millilitres, therefore

\n

50 teaspoons= 250 millilitres or 0.25 litre (one quarter of a litre), and

\n

100 teaspoons= 500 millilitres or 0.5 litre (half a litre), and

\n

200 teaspoons = 1000 millilitres or 1 litre.

\n

You can then use a combination of these to get the whole amount.
