First, identify the conversion factor between milliliters and liters to use an equivalent rate.
800mL=0.8L
1 000mL=1L This means that the conversion factor between milliliters and liters can be expressed by the following fraction. 1 000mL/1L Now, we want convert 800 milliliters to liters. To do this, we can divide both terms of the factor by 1.25 to write an equivalent rate. Let's do this! 1000mL Ă· 1.25/1L Ă· 1.25 &= 800mL/L Next, let's perform the quotient. The quotient of 1 liter and 1.25 is 0.8 liters. 1000mL Ă· 1.25/1L Ă· 1.25 &= 800mL/0.8L We found that 800 milliliters are equal to 0.8 liters. 800mL &= 0.8L
