Question

Which container could hold 80,000 milliliters? A. 48-liter fuel tank c. 500-milliliter beaker b. 0.5-kiloliter drum d. 2-liter bottle

Answer 1

B. A 0.5 kL drum

Explanation:

We can decide by converting every measurement to the same units, say, litres.

80 000 mL × 1 L/1000 mL = 80 L

A. 48 L = 48 L

B. 0.5 kL × 1000 L/1 kL = 500 L

C. 500 mL × 1 L/1000mL = 0.5 L

D. 2 L = 2 L

Only a 0.5 kL drum can hold 80 000 mL
