Conversion of capacity
Learning Objective– Students will be able to learn about conversion of capacity.
Explanation
We have already learnt: 1 l = 1000 ml
Conversions:litres into millilitres
A) To convert litres into millilitres, we multiply the given number of litres by 1000.
Example1: Convert 5l into ml
5l = 5 x 1000ml
= 5000ml
B) To convert litres into millilitres, we multiply the given number of litres by 1000 and
then add the ml to it.
Example 2: Convert 4l85ml into ml
4l 85ml = 4 x 1000ml + 85ml
= 4000ml + 85ml
= 4085ml
Conversions:Millilitres into Litres
Example: Convert 3785 ml into l and ml
3785 ml = 3000 ml + 785 ml
= 3 l + 785 ml
= 3 l 785 ml
Learning Outcome– Students are able to learn about conversion of capacity
