Final answer:

870 mL is less than 8.7 liters, because 8.7 liters is equal to 8,700 mL when converted to milliliters, which is greater than 870 mL.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking to compare volumes in two different units: milliliters (mL) and liters (L). To properly compare them, we need to convert the units to the same system. Since 1 liter is equivalent to 1,000 milliliters, we can convert 8.7 liters into milliliters by multiplying it by 1,000.

8.7 liters × 1,000 = 8,700 milliliters.

Now, compare the two numbers. 870 milliliters is less than 8,700 milliliters. This means that 870 mL is less than 8.7 liters. The conversion applies as follows to the provided information:

  1. 2900 mL = 2.9 L
  2. 1300 mL = 1.3 L
  3. 2700 mL = 2.7 L
  4. 3 L = 3000 mL
  5. 5.5 L = 5500 mL
  6. 8 L = 8000 mL
  7. 9.3 L = 9300 mL
  8. 34.5 L = 34500 mL
  9. 65.5 L = 65500 mL
