Conversion of Capacity Conversion of Capacity

Example 6: Convert the following. Example 3: Complete the double number line given below using conversion.

( a) 2455 mL into L and mL (b) 140 dL into daL and dL 1,000 mL × 4 ______ mL 9,000 mL 16,000 mL ______ mL 24,000 mL
Solution: ( a) 2455 mL into L and mL L dL cL mL × 1000

2455 mL = 2000 mL + 455 mL
× __
= (2000 ÷ 1000) L + 455 mL ÷ 10 ÷ 10 ÷ 10 1 L 1,000 mL 4 L 4,000 mL 9 L 9,000 mL ___ L 19 L ___ L
19,000 mL
16,000 mL
24,000 mL
= 2 L 455 mL × 4
( b) 140 dL into daL and dL daL L dL Solution: × 1000
140 dL = 100 dL + 40 dL 1 L × 4 4 L 9 L 16 L 19 L 24 L
÷ 10 ÷ 10
= (100 ÷ 100) daL + 40 dL = 1 daL 40 dL
