Answer

It takes $~62.5~s~$ for the medicine to travel throughout the body.

Work Step by Step

We can convert $5~L$ to units of $m^3$: $5~L \times \frac{10^{-3}~m^3}{1~L} = 5\times 10^{-3}~m^3$ We can find the time for the medicine to travel throughout the body: $t = \frac{5\times 10^{-3}~m^3}{80\times 10^{-6}~m^3/s}$ $t = 62.5~s$ It takes $~62.5~s~$ for the medicine to travel throughout the body.
