#25.17dal=2.517times10^5ml#

Explanation:

The prefix "deca-" means 10, so a decaliter is 10 liters.
Also, the prefix "milli-" corresponds to 1/1000th. So, a milliliter is 1/1000th of a liter. So there are #1000ml# in one liter. Therefore, there is 10000 milliliters in a decaliter.

So,

#25.17dal times10000=251700ml#

and put into scientific notation

#25.17dal=2.517times10^5ml#
