- àï6.6è Metric Measurements of Capacity.
-
- äè Please convert the following Metric Measurements of
- êêïCapacity.
-
- âêê Convert 8.5 ml to _____ L.
-
- êêïklè hlè dalè Lè dlè clèml
- #êêêêê└────────────────┘
- è This conversion involves moving the decimal point three places to
- the left.êè Thus, 8.5 mlè =è .0085 L.
-
- éSïThe Metric Measurements of Capacity are milliliter, centiliter,
- deciliter, liter, decaliter, hectoliter, and kiloliter.ïThe
- equivalencies between ç units of Capacity are as follows:
- êê 1 kiloliter (kl)è =è 1000 liter (L)
- êê1 hectoliter (hl)è =è 100 L
- êê1 decaliter (dal)è =è 10 L
- êêë 1 liter (L)è =è 1 L
- êê 1 deciliter (dl)è =è .1 L
- êê1 centiliter (cl)è =è .01 L
- êê1 milliliter (ml)è =è .001 L
- #ê1 cubic centimeter (cmÄ)è =è 1 milliliter
-
- ëIt is possible to convert 8.5 ml to L by using proportions, but it
- is much faster to just move the decimal point as was done with Metric
- Measurements of Length.ïThe first thing to do is to list the units of
- Capacity from largest to smallest.
-
- êè klè hlè dalè Lè dlè clè ml
- #êêêêï└─────────────────┘
- Since each unit of measurement differs from the next unit by a factor of
- 10, converting milliliters to liters involves moving the decimal point
- three places to the left.
- êêêThus, 8.5 mlè=è.0085 L.
