Question

How do you convert 4 liters to milliliters?

Answer 1

`4000 ml`

Explanation:

Conversions in the metric system are very easy and only involve powers of 10. There are many units, but we only use some of them.

Capacity involves the following units...

`Kl" "Hl" "Dl" "litres" "dl" "cl" "ml`

Each unit is ten times as big as the unit on the right.

To convert to a bigger unit, divide by 10 for each conversion.
To convert to a smaller unit, multiply by 10 for each conversion.

`litres " "rarr" "ml: xx 10 xx 10 xx 10`

Litres to ml `xx 1000`

`4 xx10 xx 10 xx 10 = 4000ml`

Answer 2

`4000" ml"`

`1" litre" =1000" ml"`
`1" litre" =1000" ml"`
`1" litre" =1000" ml"`
`ul(1" litre" =1000" ml ") larr" Add"`
`4" litres"=4000" ml"`

'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From this you can observe that if

`1" litre"=1000" ml"`

The 4 litres is:

`4(1" litre"=1000" ml)"`

`4xx1" litre"=4xx1000" ml"`

`4" litres" = 4000" ml"`
