Question

Convert. 260 milliliters to centiliters.

Answer 1

26 centilitres.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we start by recalling the standard conversion between millilitres and centilitres.

`10\text{ milliliter = 1 centileter}`

Let 260 milliliters = x centiliters

We express it as a ratio:

`\frac{10\text{ }milliliters}{1\text{ centiliter}}=\frac{260milliliters}{x\text{ centiliters}}`

Cross multiply to solve for x:

`\begin{gathered} 10x=260*1 \\ x=(260)/(10) \\ x=26\text{ centiliters} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, 260 millilitres is 26 centiliters.
