Question

A volume of $1500$ milliliters is equal to how many liters?

Answer 1

Hint:
To find the number of liters in $1500$ milliliters we will use the dimensional analysis. In this method we can convert it to another unit by of measurement by terminating the unwanted units and the connection between them will be equal to \[Quantity{\text{ given}} \times Conversion{\text{ factor = Quantity sought }}\] . By substituting the values, we will be able to calculate it.

Formula used:
Formula by the dimensional analysis technique,
\[Quantity{\text{ given}} \times Conversion{\text{ factor = Quantity sought }}\]

Complete step by step solution:
First of all we will see the values given to us. So the quantity given to us is equal to milliliters and the conversion factor is given by $1000$ and since we have to convert it into liters, the quantity sought will be the liter.
Substituting the known values, we will get the equation as
\[ \Rightarrow 1500mL \times \dfrac{{1L}}{{1000mL}}{\text{ = Quantity sought }}\]
And on solving the above equation, we will get the equation as
\[ \Rightarrow 1.5L{\text{ = Quantity sought }}\]

Hence, A volume of $1500$ milliliters is equal to $1.5$ liters.

Note:
For solving this type of question we need to know the formula, or the basic conversion values of it. Like in this question we need to know that in $1$ liters there will be $1000$ milliliters. Also while converting the units we should always mention the units as if we don’t do that then our marks will get deducted in the exams.
