The question
919 L = ________ mL
19 L = ? mL
How it works.
L → mLsmaller unit, bigger number
1 L =1000 mL
19 × 1000 =19000
19000 mL
- 01
One mL is smaller than one L, and it takes MORE of a small thing to make the same amount. So the number has to get bigger — which means multiplying.
- 02
There are 1000 mL in one L, so that is the number to multiply by.
- 03
19 × 1000 = 19000, so 19 L is 19000 mL. Check the direction held: the number got bigger, which is what a smaller unit does.
