Convert 0.35 liters to milliliters.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking us to convert the volume from liters to milliliters. To do this, we need to know that 1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters.
Answer
The volume in milliliters is $V \times 1000$.
Answer for screen readers
The volume in milliliters is $V \times 1000$.
Steps to Solve
-
Identify the conversion factor The conversion factor between liters and milliliters is important. We know that $1 \text{ liter} = 1000 \text{ milliliters}$.
-
Multiply by the conversion factor To convert a volume in liters, we multiply the number of liters by the conversion factor. If we have a volume of $V$ liters, the conversion to milliliters is done as follows:
$$ V \text{ liters} \times 1000 \text{ milliliters/liter} = V \times 1000 \text{ milliliters} $$
- Calculate the final volume in milliliters Perform the multiplication to find the final volume in milliliters.
The volume in milliliters is $V \times 1000$.
More Information
This process allows for easy conversion from one unit of measure to another. It's a fundamental skill in both science and everyday life, as liquid measurements often require switching between liters and milliliters.
Tips
- A common mistake is forgetting to multiply by 1000, which can lead to underestimating the volume in milliliters. Always remember that conversion involves multiplication by the correct factor.
