Question

5000 mL = how many liters?

Answer 1

5

Explanation:

1000 ml= 1L

Answer 2

Answer: 5 liters

Explanation:

We will use the knowledge of 1 liter being equal to 1,000 mL. Since we are trying to change 5,000 mL into liters, we will use dimensional analysis. We want to end up with liters, so we will put 1 liter over 1,000 mL so the mL units cancel out, since
`(mL)/(mL)` = 1.

`\displaystyle ((5,000\;mL)/(1)) ((1 \;liter)/(1,000\;mL) )=5\;liters`
