A large fish bowl holds 4,200 milliliters. Which measure is equivalent?
A.4L 200mL
B.40L 20mL
C.400L 2mL
D.40,000l .2ml
4L 200mL is not standard for writing metric units.
but it is the best choice here.
Why don't you use the conversions I told you:
1 liters = 1000 milliliters so 4,200 milliliters = 4.2 liters
(0.2 liters = 200 mL)
Thanks:-)
To find the measure that is equivalent to 4,200 milliliters, let's examine each option and convert the values as needed.
A. 4L 200mL:
To convert liters to milliliters, we multiply by 1,000. Therefore, 4 liters is equal to 4,000 milliliters. Adding the 200 milliliters given, the total is 4,200 milliliters. So, option A is equivalent.
B. 40L 20mL:
Converting the liters to milliliters, 40 liters is equal to 40,000 milliliters. Adding the given 20 milliliters, the total is 40,020 milliliters. Therefore, option B is not equivalent.
C. 400L 2mL:
Similarly, converting 400 liters to milliliters, we get 400,000 milliliters. Adding the 2 milliliters given, the total is 400,002 milliliters. Thus, option C is not equivalent.
D. 40,000L .2mL:
Converting 40,000 liters to milliliters, we have 40,000,000 milliliters. Adding the .2 milliliters given, the total is 40,000,000.2 milliliters. This means option D is not equivalent.
Therefore, the only measure that is equivalent to 4,200 milliliters is answer choice A.
