example 2: Convert 3 kL 6 hL 7 daL 5 L into litres.
Solution: We have, 1 kL = 1000 L, 1 hL = 100 L, and

1 daL = 10 L
So, 3 kL 6 hL 7 daL 5 L = (3 × 1000) L + (6 × 100) L + (7 × 10) L + 5 L
= 3000 L + 600 L + 70 L + 5 L = 3675 L
conversion of Smaller units of capacity into Bigger units

To convert a smaller unit into a bigger unit, we divide.
example 3: Convert the following.
(a) 5075 mL into L and mL (b) 7028 mL into dL and mL

(c) 15656 L into kL and L
Solution: (a) We have 1000 mL = 1 L

So, 5075 mL = 5000 mL + 75 mL
= (5000 ÷ 1000) L + 75 mL = 5 L 75 mL

(b) We have 100 mL = 1 dL
So, 7028 mL = 7000 mL + 28 mL Knowledge Desk

= (7000 ÷ 100) dL + 28 mL A barrel (bbl) is a unit
= 70 dL 28 mL of volume used for
measuring crude oil and
(c) We have 1000 L = 1 kL petroleum products.
So, 15656 L = 15000 L + 656 L It is equivalent to 42
US gallons or 159 L.
= (15000 ÷ 1000) kL + 656 L Approximately,
= 15 kL 656 L 1 gallon = 4 L and 1 barrel
= 160 L.
