Question

What is 25.17 dal (decaliters) as ml?

Answer 1

`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`
