Full precision:0.001 L
Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 1 milliliters to liters, we divide by 1000 because one liter equals exactly 1000 milliliters.
1 liter = 1000 milliliters
Since there are 1000 milliliters in every liter, we divide our value by this factor:
1 ÷ 1000 = 0.001 liters
So 1 milliliters = 0.001 liters.
Quick check: 0.001 × 1000 = 1 milliliters
Example Conversions
Example 1: 1 mL = 0.001 L
1 ÷ 1000 = 0.001
1 ÷ 1000 = 0.001
Example 2: 5 mL = 0.005 L
5 ÷ 1000 = 0.005
5 ÷ 1000 = 0.005
Example 3: 10 mL = 0.01 L
10 ÷ 1000 = 0.01
10 ÷ 1000 = 0.01
