Chapter SH, Problem 1.2APP

To determine

To convert: $500\text{ mL}$ into deciliters.

Answer to Problem 1.2APP

There are $5$ deciliters in $500\text{ mL}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given data:

Volume in milliliters $=500\text{ mL}$

Formula used:

  $\text{1 mililitre}=0.01\text{ deciliter}$

Calculation:

As per the problem,

Volume in deciliter = Volume in mL $\times \frac{\text{0}\text{.01 deciliter}}{1\text{ mL}}$

Substituting, volume in mL $=500\text{ mL}$

Length in cm $=500\text{ mL}\times \frac{\text{0}\text{.01 deciliter}}{1\text{ mL}}=5\text{ deciliters}$

Conclusion:

There are $5$ deciliters in $500\text{ mL}$ .
