Question

Put these measurements in order from largest to smallest: 7000mL 0.038kL 3.8L

Answer 1

`7000mL* (1L)/(1000 mL)= 7 L`

`0.038 kL*(1000L)/(1kL)= 38 L`

And then if we order the values we got:

`3.8 L< 7L< 38L`

Or equivalently:

`3.8L < 7000mL< 0.038 kL`

Explanation:

For this case we have the following measures:

7000mL 0.038kL 3.8L

We can convert all into the same scale in order to compare and we can use L if we do the conversion we got:

`7000mL* (1L)/(1000 mL)= 7 L`

`0.038 kL*(1000L)/(1kL)= 38 L`

And then if we order the values we got:

`3.8 L< 7L< 38L`

Or equivalently:

`3.8L < 7000mL< 0.038 kL`
