O20,000,000 mL
O2,000 mL
O200,000,000 mL
O 20 mL

Answer 1

To convert 20,000 liters to milliliters, we can use dimensional analysis. Multiply the given quantity by the conversion factor (1 liter = 1,000 milliliters) to get the equivalent in milliliters, which is 20,000,000 milliliters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The conversion factor given is 1 liter = 1,000 milliliters. To solve the problem and convert 20,000 liters to milliliters, we can use dimensional analysis.

First, we'll set up the conversion factor as a fraction: 1 liter / 1,000 milliliters.

Then, we'll multiply the given quantity (20,000 liters) by the conversion factor, canceling out the liters and leaving us with milliliters.

20,000 liters * (1 liter / 1,000 milliliters) = 20,000,000 milliliters.

Therefore, 20,000 liters is equal to 20,000,000 milliliters.
