Question

Which of the following measurements is equal to 550000 µL? 5.5L 55 cL 5500 mL 5500000 nL

Answer 1

55 cL

Step-by-step explanation:

1 µL = 10⁻⁶ L

550000 µL = 550000 x 10⁻⁶ L = 0.055 L

Therefore option A is incorrect.

1 µL = 10⁻⁴ cL

550000 µL = 550000 x 10⁻⁴ cL = 55 cL

Therefore option B is correct.

1 µL = 10⁻³ mL

550000 µL = 550000 x 10⁻³ mL = 550 mL

Therefore option C is incorrect.

1 µL = 10³ nL

550000 µL = 550000 x 10³ nL = 550000000 nL

Therefore option D is incorrect.

Answer 2

µL = 10^-6 L
cL = 10^-2 L
mL = 10^-3 L
nL = 10^-9 L

So for the first option (5.5L) you just multiply 550000 by 10^-6. The answer is 0.55L, So A is not the answer For the second one (55cL) you subtract the cL in L from the µL in L, This is 10^-6 - 10^-2, which is 10^-4. Next you multiply 550000 by 10^-4, which will result in 55 cL. You now know that 550000 µL is equal to 55 cL
