milliliters of lemon-garlic marinade for every kilogram of chicken. Owen plans to grill

5

kilograms of chicken. How many liters of marinade should he use?

Calculate marinade for $5$ kg: Owen uses $250$ milliliters of marinade for every kilogram of chicken. To find out how much marinade he needs for $5$ kilograms, we need to multiply the amount of marinade for one kilogram by the number of kilograms. $\newline$ Calculation: $250 \, \text{milliliters/kg} \times 5 \, \text{kg} = 1250 \, \text{milliliters}$
Convert milliliters to liters: We have the amount of marinade in milliliters, but the question asks for the amount in liters. Since there are $1000$ milliliters in a liter, we need to convert milliliters to liters. $\newline$ Calculation: $1250$ milliliters $\div 1000 = 1.25$ liters
