Question

Jordan has 3.2 liters of paint left after painting the scenery for the school play. How can she convert this number to find how many milliliters of paint she has left?

Answer 1

Move the decimal point 3 places to the right giving `"3200 ml"`.

Explanation:

`"1 liter = 1000 ml"`

Multiply `1 cancel"l" xx ( 1000 "ml")/(1cancel"l") = "1000 ml"`

So multiply `3.2 cancel"l" xx (1000"ml")/ (1cancel"l") = "3200 ml"`
