Question

Use the conversion ratio 1 liter equals 1,000 milliliters. A cylinder holds 6,750 milliliters. How many liters does it hold?

O 7,750
O 6,750,000
O 6.75
O 67.5

Answer 1

To convert 6,750 milliliters to liters, divide by 1,000, resulting in 6.75 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert milliliters to liters, you need to recognize that you are going from a smaller unit (milliliters) to a larger unit (liters), which involves dividing by the conversion factor. The conversion factor, as mentioned, is that 1 liter equals 1,000 milliliters. Therefore, you will need to divide the given amount in milliliters by 1,000 to find out how many liters it represents.

In this specific example:

1. Take the given volume in milliliters: 6,750 mL.
2. Divide this number by 1,000 (because 1,000 milliliters equal 1 liter).
3. 6,750 mL / 1,000 = 6.75 L.

Thus, a cylinder that holds 6,750 milliliters will hold 6.75 liters.
