Question

convert 23.7 liters to milliliters. show your work cancelling the units to reach to the answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall unit conversion factor

We know $1\ \text{liter} = 1000\ \text{milliliters}$, so the conversion factor is $\frac{1000\ \text{mL}}{1\ \text{L}}$.

Step2: Multiply by conversion factor

Multiply the given value by the conversion factor to cancel units:
$23.7\ \text{L} \times \frac{1000\ \text{mL}}{1\ \text{L}}$
The liter units cancel out, leaving:
$23.7 \times 1000\ \text{mL}$

Step3: Calculate the final value

$23.7 \times 1000 = 23700$

Answer:

23700 milliliters
