If a breaker contains 0.32L of water.What is the volume of of this water in milliliters?

Question

this is a physical science question

Answer 1

franki,

don't let these quick answer boys get you down.

If you are having trouble with this concept, and a lot of people do, then you need to study up on the metric system in general.

There are a lot of good websites out there that will tell you all about the metric system and it's history and yadda, yadda, yadda....... I'll put some at the end so that you can learn more.

But let me give you my own quick take on the subject, "Jeff w's -how to actually use the metric system", in a few sentences.

Using the metric system in science is all about moving the decimal point back and forth in the number to get the units on the end that you want.

To get from Liters to Milliliters, you move the decimal point to the right 3 places. This also works for changing Grams to Milligrams, or Meters to Milimeters. Adding the prefix "Milli" means move the point three to the right.

There are other prefixes you can add to liter or meter or gram. Each one means move the decimal point a certain distance. For example, adding "killi" to a word means move the decimal point 3 places to the left.

You can even move between them. To go from Kili to Milli is 6 places.

Get a list of these prefixes, it would be helpful to keep handy.

I hope this helps

pS -- This is really not the right area for this question. Physics and Physical Science are not the same.

To change L

Answer 2

since 1 L = 1000 mL, multiply the volume in Liters by 1000 mL/L

Answer 3

It's "beaker." You stuck in an extra "r."

And a liter is 1,000 milliliters. So 0.32 L is 320 mL.

Answer 4

320 mls. This is a joke question, right??

Answer 5

320ml
