A bucket contains 1.34 hectoliters of water. How many centiliters of water are in the bucket? Use the metric table to help answer the question.

Answer 1

1.34 hectoliters (hl) = 134 liters (l)

(1 l = 100 centiliters (cl))

134 l = 13,400 cl

There are 13,400 cl in the bucket.

Answer 2

There are
`13,400` centiliters of water in the bucket.

Explanation:

One hectoliter is 100 liters

Therefore,

`1.34` hectoliters =
`1.34*100` liters

=
`134` liters

One liter is 100 centiliters.

Therefore,

`134` liters =
`134*100` centiliters

=
`13,400` centiliters

There are
`13,400` centiliters of water in the bucket.
