Question

Convert 540 x 10^-4 dL to μL:

A) 5.4 μL
B) 54 μL
C) 540 μL
D) 5,400 μL

Answer 1

To convert 540 x 10^-4 dL to µL, multiply 540 x 10^-4 by 0.1 to convert dL to L, and then multiply the result by 1,000,000 to get the value in µL, which is 540 µL.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert 540 x 10^-4 dL to microliters (µL), we first need to understand the relationship between deciliters and liters, and then microliters and liters.

1 deciliter (dL) is equal to 0.1 liters, and 1 liter is equal to 1,000,000 microliters (µL).

Now, to convert from dL to µL, follow these steps:

1. 
   
3. Convert deciliters to liters by multiplying by 0.1.
   

   540 x 10^-4 dL = 540 x 10^-4 x 0.1 L

   
   
4. 
   
6. Convert the result from step 1 to µL by multiplying by 1,000,000.
   

   (540 x 10^-4 x 0.1 L) x 1,000,000 µL/L = 540 µL

   
   

The correct conversion result is Option C) 540 µL.
