A student sets up the following equation to convert a measurement the ? Stands for a number the student is going to calculate
Fill in the missing part of this equation
(16mL)=?
(16mL) = ?
To fill in the missing part of the equation, we need to determine the numerical value that will convert the given measurement of 16 mL into another unit of measurement. Since the "?" represents a number, let's assume that it represents the conversion factor to convert mL to another unit.
For example, if we want to convert mL to liters (L), the conversion factor is 0.001, as there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter. Therefore, we can write the equation as:
(16 mL) = ? L
To find the value of "?", we can use the conversion factor:
? = 16 mL x 0.001 L/mL
Simplifying this calculation, we get:
? = 0.016 L
So the missing part of the equation is 0.016, and the revised equation is:
(16 mL) = 0.016 L
