Question

How many deciliters are in 25 liters?

Answer 1

Hint: Here, we will use the concept of conversion of units. Both litres and deciliters are the measuring unit of volume and litre is a larger unit than deciliter. We will multiply the given quantity by the conversion factor to get the required answer.

Complete step-by-step answer:
As we know, a liter and a deciliter is a unit of volume. They are not SI units of volume but a measurement unit which is used to calculate the volume or capacity of an object.
The conversion factor between liters and deciliters is given as:
1 liter = 10 deciliters
As we have to convert 25 liter value into deciliter so we will multiply it with the above value and get,
\[ \Rightarrow 25l = 25 \times 10\]
\[ \Rightarrow 25l = 250\] Deciliters

So, there are 250 deciliters in 25 liters.

Additional information:
Liter is not an SI unit of Volume but a unit of volume which is equal to cubic decimeter. The standard unit of capacity is liter (l) and milliliter (ml). Converting units is important as well as necessary to examine the quantities on equal footing.

Note:
To convert a dimension given in one unit into another unit we have to use a converting factor. Generally, for converting some dimensions into smaller units of measurement then we will multiply it with the converting factor. However, for converting some dimensions into a larger unit of measurement then we will divide it by the converting factor. As litre is a larger unit and we have to convert it to a smaller unit, so we multiplied the given unit by the conversion factor.
