Question

Make the following conversion. 0.080 mL = _____ L 800 L 80 L 0.00080 L 0.000080 L

Answer 1

There are 1000 millilitres in a litre, so

`0.080 mL = (0.080)/(1000)L = 0.000080 L`

Answer 2

Answer is 0.000080 L.

Explanation;

This is a simple unit conversion problem.

1 L = 1000 mL

This means,

1 mL = (1/1000) L

= 1 x 10⁻³ L

= 0.001 L

Hence,

0.080 mL = (1 L / 1000 mL) x 0.080 mL

= 8 x 10⁻⁵ L

= 0.000080 L
