Question

Which of the following measurements is equal to 2.3 dL?

A 23 L
B 2,300 cL
C 23,000 mL
D 230,000 µL

Answer 1

2.3 dL = .23 liters. d=deci=10^-1 so you move the decimal place back once.

It's D because micro is 10^-6 (move the decimal place back 6 times) 230,000x10^-6=.23 liters or 2.3 dL.

Answer 2

Answer;

230,000 μL

Explanation;

I deciliter is equivalent to 0.1 liters

or 10 dL = 1 Liter

Thus; 23 dL will be equivalent to;

= 23/10 = 2.3 L

But; 1 × 10^-6 L = 1 μL

Thus; 0.23 L will be equivalent to

0.23 × 10^6 = 230,000 μL
