Question

Convert the following numbers using the Metric System.

1000 mL = _________ L
a) 1 L
b) 10 L
c) 0.1 L
d) 0.01 L

Answer 1

To convert 1000 mL to liters, divide by 1000, which results in 1 L, as there are 1000 mL in a liter.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the given volume measurement from milliliters to liters, we use the fact that 1 liter (L) is equal to 1000 milliliters (mL). When we are converting from a smaller unit (mL) to a larger unit (L), we divide by 1000 since 1 mL is 1/1000th of a liter. So, to convert 1000 mL to liters, we divide 1000 by 1000, which equals 1. Therefore, 1000 mL is equal to 1 L.
