Question: How to convert Liter to milliliters?...

How to convert Liter to milliliters?

Explanation

Solution

Here we know that we have to convert Liter into milliliter which is from higher unit to lower unit. Major Key for working a liter to milliliter problem vice versa is known as the conversion factor.
-There are 10001000 milliliters in each liter because this is a factor of 1010 , you don't actually have to use a calculator with some basic calculations and conversion.
-By moving it 33 spaces to the right to convert liters to milliliters (e.g. 5.442 L= 5443 ml5.442\text{ }L=\text{ }5443\text{ }ml ) or three spaces to the left to convert milliliters to liters (e.g. 45 ml = 0.045 L45\text{ }ml\text{ }=\text{ }0.045\text{ }L ).
-The basic formula for conversion of mLmL to LL or LL to mLmL is given by
1mL = 10.001 L1mL\text{ }=\text{ }\dfrac{1}{0.001}\text{ }Lor L = 1000 mLL\text{ }=\text{ }1000\text{ }mL

Complete answer:
To understand more precisely we can take example of how many milliliters are in a 33 liter:
11 Liter = 1000 mL=\text{ }1000\text{ }mL
Set up the conversion so the desired unit will be cancelled out. In this case, we want mLmL to be the remaining unit.
Volume in mL= (Volume in L)×1000mL1LmL=\text{ }\left( Volume\text{ }in\text{ }L \right)\times \dfrac{1000mL}{1L}
Volume in mL= 3 L ×1000mL1LmL=\text{ }3\text{ }L\text{ }\times \dfrac{1000mL}{1L}
Volume in mL= 3000 mLmL=\text{ }3000\text{ }mL

Therefore, conversion of 3L3L into mLmL is 3000mL3000mL.

Note: Now that we have got the conversion of LL to mLmL with an example of 3L3L to 3000mL3000mL. We can cross verify the conversion.
-There are 10001000 times more milliliters than liters, so the milliliter number should be much greater than the liter number.
-Also, since we are multiplying by a factor of 1010 , the value of the digits won't change. It's only a matter of moving the decimal point.
