Question

If 1,000 mL = 1 L, which of the following are possible conversion factors for liters and milliliters? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

Answer:

the second questions answers are A=1,000 B=1 C=5,400

Answer 2

Answer:

Two conversion factors:

         $1=\dfrac{1L}{1,000ml}\\ \\ \\ 1=\dfrac{1,000mL}{1L}$

Explanation:

You can create two possible conversion factors, one to convert from mL to L, and one to convert from L to mL

a) From mL to L

To convert mL to L you need to multiply by a conversion factor that has mL on the denominator and L in the numerator.

Your starting point is: $1,000mL=1L$

Then, divide both sides by 1,000mL (this will be on the denominator of the fraction);

       $1,000mL=1L\\\\ \\\dfrac{1,000ml}{1,000mL}=\dfrac{1L}{1,000mL}\\ \\ \\ 1=\dfrac{1L}{1,000mL}$

b) From L to mL

Divide both sides by 1 L:

            $1,000mL=1L\\\\ \\\dfrac{1,000ml}{1L}=\dfrac{1L}{1L}\\ \\ \\ 1=\dfrac{1,000mL}{1L}$
