How do you convert 25 milliliters to cubic sentimeters?

Answer 1

2.5 L x (1000 ml / L) = 2500 ml (L cancels out of the problem)

In calculations like this you handle the numbers and units separately then put the results back together to form the overall result. In this case:

1. 2.5 x 1000 = 2500

2. liters x milliters / liter = milliters

In the second part, the explanation is that liters can be treated as a fraction with 1 as its denominator: liters / 1. When you multiply two fractions you can 'cancel' the denominator of one factor with the numerator of another factor, which leaves just the milliliters.

Now, as mentioned above, just put the numbers and units together to get

2500 milliters

Answer 2

A liter is one million cubic millimeters: 2.5 x 1,000,000 = 2500000 cubic mm

Answer 3

The milliliter and the cubic centimeter are equal volumes.
