Question

1. one thousand milliliters are equal to one liter. how many liters are equal to 2,457 milliliters?

a. 0.2457
b. 2.457
c. 24.57
d. 245.7

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the conversion factor

We know that \( 1 \text{ liter} = 1000 \text{ milliliters} \), so to convert milliliters to liters, we divide the number of milliliters by 1000.

Step2: Perform the conversion

We have 2457 milliliters. To convert to liters, we calculate \( \frac{2457}{1000} \). Dividing by 1000 is the same as moving the decimal point three places to the left. So, \( 2457\div1000 = 2.457 \).

Answer:

B. 2.457
