                    ConVerSion

                    The following relationship between litres and millilitres helps us convert units.
                                                                1 L = 1000 mL

                    Litres into Millilitres

                    To convert litres into millilitres, multiply the number of litres by 1000.
                                                                                                          × 1000   × 1000
                    examples:  a.  5 L = (5 × 1000) mL = 5000 mL

                                  b.  8 L = (8 × 1000) mL = 8000 mL                                     kL        L      mL

                    Litres and Millilitres into Millilitres                                               ÷ 1000   ÷ 1000
                    To convert litres and millilitres into millilitres, multiply the number of litres by 1000

                    and add it to the number of millilitres.
                    examples:  a.  4 L  328 mL  = (4 × 1000) mL + 328 mL                          [Since 1 L = 1000 mL]

                                                      = 4000 mL + 328 mL = 4328 mL
                                  b.  3 L 115 mL  = (3 × 1000) mL + 115 mL                        [Since 1 L = 1000 mL]
                                                    = 3000 mL + 115 mL = 3115 mL
