To convert 50 milliliters (ml) to liters (L), you can use the following steps. Note that the mL will cancel out as you perform the conversion, leaving only L:
Conversion Factor:
1 liter (L) = 1000 milliliters (ml)
Start with the quantity you want to convert (50 ml) and set up a ratio where the original unit (ml) is in the denominator, and the target unit (L) is in the numerator, using the conversion factor:
Conversion factor: 1 L / 1000 ml
Write the quantity you want to convert (50 ml) as a fraction over 1:
50 ml / 1
Multiply this fraction by the conversion factor:
(50 ml / 1) * (1 L / 1000 ml)
Notice that the units of milliliters (ml) in the numerator and denominator cancel out, leaving only the units of liters (L):
(50 * 1) / (1 * 1000) L
= 50 / 1000 L
= 0.05 L
So, 50 mL is equivalent to 0.05 liters. The units of milliliters cancel out during the conversion process, leaving only liters as the final unit.
