Question 12

35 milliliters is equivalent to 0.035 liters.

To convert milliliters to liters, one must divide the number of milliliters by 1,000. Therefore, 35 milliliters is 35 ÷ 1,000, which equals 0.035 liters.

A) 3.5

This option is incorrect because 3.5 liters would be equivalent to 3,500 milliliters, which far exceeds the initial measurement of 35 milliliters.

B) 0.35

While 0.35 liters is a valid measurement, it is incorrect in this context. This would represent 350 milliliters, which is again greater than the original 35 milliliters.

C) 0.035

This option is correct as it accurately represents the conversion of 35 milliliters to liters. Dividing 35 by 1,000 indeed yields 0.035 liters.

D) 350

This option is incorrect because 350 liters would correspond to 350,000 milliliters, which is vastly larger than the 35 milliliters in question.

Conclusion

The correct answer, 0.035 liters, is derived from the proper conversion of milliliters to liters by dividing the milliliters by 1,000. All other options fail to represent the accurate conversion, either by being too high or miscalculating the relationship between milliliters and liters. Thus, option C is definitively the correct choice.
