Question

Convert the following metric units to the desired metric units: 0.00450 microL=

Answer 1

To convert 0.00450 microL to milliliters, we move the decimal place three positions to the left, resulting in 0.00000450 mL.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert 0.00450 microL (µL) to milliliters (mL), we use the fact that 1 µL is equivalent to
`1 * 10-6` liters (L), and 1 milliliter (mL) equals
`1 * 10-3` liters (L). So to convert from µL to mL, we can use the following ratio:

1 µL =
`1 *10-6` L

1 mL =
`1 *10-3` L

To find the conversion, we need to make sure the units align correctly. Since 1 µL is 0.001 of a mL, we can multiply the amount in µL by 0.001 or simply move the decimal place three positions to the left. Therefore, 0.00450 µL is equal to 0.00000450 mL when converted.
