Final answer:
To find the total amount of water in 205 containers, each holding 1 L, multiply the volume of one container by the number of containers, resulting in 205 liters and 205,000 milliliters.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we must recognize that the conversion of liters to milliliters involves multiplying by 1,000 since there are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. Thus, 1 liter is equivalent to 1,000 milliliters.
To find out how much water is in 205 identical containers, each holding 1 L, we multiply the volume of one container by the number of containers:
- 1 L × 205 = 205 L
- (1,000 mL × 205) = 205,000 mL
Therefore, in 205 containers, there would be 205 liters and 205,000 milliliters of water.
