What conversion factor would you use to convert cubic decimeters to milliliters?
dm^3 x (10 cm/dm)^3 = ? cc = ?mL
To convert cubic decimeters (dm^3) to milliliters (mL), you can use the conversion factor of 1 dm^3 = 1000 mL. This means that every cubic decimeter is equal to 1000 milliliters.
To convert cubic decimeters (dm³) to milliliters (mL), you need to use the following conversion factor:
1 dm³ = 1000 mL
The conversion factor of 1000 is used because there are 1000 milliliters in one liter, and since one liter is equivalent to one cubic decimeter, the conversion factor remains the same.
To convert cubic decimeters to milliliters, you simply multiply the value in cubic decimeters by 1000. For example, if you have 5 dm³, the calculation would be:
5 dm³ * 1000 = 5000 mL
Therefore, 5 cubic decimeters is equal to 5000 milliliters.
