The answer is 620 because there are 1000 in a liter.

Answer:

he should use 620 milliliters to equal 0.62 liters

Explanation:

Hello

I think I can help you with this

to solve the problem you must know the equivalence between milliliters and liters

1 liter= 1000 milliliters

Step 1

to find how many milliliters are in 0.62 liters you can use a simple rule of three

if

1 liter= 1000 milliliters

0.62 liters = x ml?

do the relationship


(1\ liter)/(1000\ ml)=(0.62 liters)/(x )  \\\\isolating\ x\\x*1\ liter=0.62\ liters*1000\ ml\\x=(0.62\ liters*1000\ ml)/(1\ liter) \\x=620\ ml

so, he should use 620 milliliters to equal 0.62 liters

Have a great day
