  $1\text{ liter}=1000\text{ milliliters}$

Calculation:

In order to convert 300 milliliters to liters, use the unitary method and the unit conversion $1\text{ liter}=1000\text{ milliliters}$ and simplify further as shown below,

  $\begin{array}{c}1000\text{ milliliters}=1\text{ liter}\\ 1\text{ milliliter}=\frac{1}{1000}\text{ liters}\\ 300\text{ milliliters}=\frac{1}{1000}\times \text{300 liters}\\ =\frac{300}{1000}\text{ liters}\\ =0.3\text{ liters}\end{array}$

Thus, the measurement in the given unitsis $0.3\text{ liters}$ .
