To convert cups to liters, you need to use the conversion factor between cups and liters. According to the information provided, 1 liter is equal to 4.22 cups.
To calculate the number of liters used if Saloman used 5 cups of water, you would divide the number of cups by the conversion factor (4.22 cups per liter):
\[
\text{liters} = \frac{\text{cups}}{\text{cups per liter}} = \frac{5 \, \text{cups}}{4.22 \, \text{cups/liter}}
\]
So, the correct choice is: **divide 5 by 4.22**.
