Question

How many milliliters are there in 14 centiliters?

Answer 1

Hint: In order to solve this question, we need to remember the values of one milliliter and one centiliter in terms of liters. This question is related to conversion of units.
Measurement is a process of determining how large or small a physical quantity is as compared to a basic reference fundamental quantity of the same kind of measurable unit.
 \[
  1l = 1000\;ml \\
  1l = 100\;cl \;
 \]

Complete step-by-step answer:
 A unit of measurement is a definite magnitude of a measurable quantity, defined and adopted by convention according to law, that is used as a standard for measurement of the same kind of quantity. Any other type of quantity of that kind can be expressed as a multiple of the unit of measurement in science. For example, a length is a physical quantity. The unit of length is meter that represents a definite predetermined length for measurement. When we say 10 metres then we actually mean 10 times the definite predetermined length called metre.

For solving this question, we need to have the knowledge of the conversional table.
By the table, we get:
 \[1\;centilitre = 10\;millilitre\]
So according to this table the relation between the millimeter and the centimeter is;
Multiplying 14 on both sides,
 \[14\;centilitres = 14 \times 10\;ml\]
On further solving;
 \[14\;cl = 140\;ml\]
So, \[140\;ml\] is the correct answer.
So, the correct answer is “ \[140\;ml\] ”.

Note: Like this we have solved this question we can find all these types of question of conversion but one thing should be kept in mind is that solving the questions which are changing in the fraction or in simple words we will can that while we are converting from lower quantity to higher quantity the substitution should be done very carefully or else we will miss the answer.
We will use according to the question given when it is in liters all the parameters ( kilo, hector, deca,……) will be in liters and if these are in meters then the parameters will be in meters.
