Exercise 16 Page 146

Use the conversion factor that 1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters.

1.5

Practice makes perfect
Let's start by copying the given statement. 1500mL&= L Converting between milliliters (mL) and liters (L) will involve using a conversion factor. 1L/1000mL Multiplying 1500mL by this conversion factor will convert it to liters.
1500mL*1L/1000mL
1500mL* 1L/1000mL
1500mL* 1L/1000mL
1500* 1L/1000
1500L/1000
1.5L
To complete the given statement, we will substitute 1.5 into the blank space. 1500mL&=1.5L

Common Conversion Factors
The following tool can be used to help you explore some of the most commonly used conversion factors. Conversions can be made both within or between the Metric System and the Imperial System — which is also known as the U.S. Customary System. Conversions can also be made for different measurement types: length, mass, temperature, time, area, or volume.
Conversion factors between different units of measurement
All across the globe, humans use conversion factors on a daily basis. Want to use a recipe that is written using milliliters? Convert it! Want to compare your height to that of an Olympic athlete? Convert it! You can read more about applications of conversion factors in our original content.
