Question

How do you convert milliliters to liters?

Answer 1

Hint:
First we find the relation between the litres and millilitres and that is \[1L=1000ml\] then find the millilitres in unit litre and which is already known to us. Then we just multiply it with the multiplication factor and that is the millilitres in unit litre.

Complete step by step solution:
As we know that \[1L=1000ml\]
\[\Rightarrow 1 ml=\dfrac{1}{1000}L\]
Then, we can convert \[\text{milliliters}\] to \[\text{liters}\]
Let the quantity that we need to convert is \[x\]\[ml\]
Since \[1ml=\dfrac{1}{1000}L\].
\[\Rightarrow x\text{ }ml=x\times \dfrac{1}{1000}L\]
Hence, to convert \[\text{milliliters} \] to \[\text{liters}\] divide the quantity with \[1000\] or multiply with \[\dfrac{1}{1000}\].

Note:
In this type of unit conversion just remember the number \[\text{milli}\] means \[1000\] this implies that \[1000 \text{ millilitres}\] in \[1\] \[\text{Litre}\]. It means just multiply the Litre value by \[1000\] to convert into millilitres.
