Question 48

300 milliliters is equal to 0.3 liters.

300 milliliters converts to 0.3 liters, as there are 1,000 milliliters in a liter, making the conversion straightforward.

A) 0.3 liters

This option is correct because it accurately reflects the conversion of 300 milliliters into liters. Since 1 liter is equivalent to 1,000 milliliters, dividing 300 by 1,000 gives 0.3 liters.

B) 3 liters

This option is incorrect. If 300 milliliters were equal to 3 liters, it would imply a misunderstanding of the metric conversion, as 3 liters would be equivalent to 3,000 milliliters, not 300.

C) 0.03 liters

This option is also incorrect. Converting 300 milliliters to liters involves dividing by 1,000, and 0.03 liters would correspond to only 30 milliliters, not 300.

D) 3.30 liters

This option is incorrect. A value of 3.30 liters would suggest that there are 3,300 milliliters, which is significantly larger than 300 milliliters.

Conclusion

The correct answer is 0.3 liters because it accurately represents the conversion of 300 milliliters based on the metric system. All other options misrepresent the conversion, either by underestimating or overestimating the volume. Understanding the relationship between milliliters and liters is crucial for accurate measurement and conversion.
