Need in Factor method

We're starting with this:$\large\rm \color{orangered}{1000mL}$ Let's first go from milliliters to liters! :) $\large\rm \frac{1L}{1000mL}$One liter is 1000mL. We'll multiply to apply conversion,$\large\rm \color{orangered}{1000mL}\cdot\frac{1L}{1000mL}$Do you understand how the units will cancel out?

4. zepdrix

This only gets us half way though. We would then go from Liters to kiloLiters :)

5. babybritt002

sorry it was a typo i meant 1,000mL = __L

6. zepdrix

Oh lol, that makes things easier I suppose :3

7. zepdrix

Recall that you can rewrite any quantity over 1. Anything divided by 1 is itself. $\large\rm \frac{\color{orangered}{1000mL}}{1}$The reason we do this is, when we go to the next step, with the multiplication, it makes it easier to cross cancel units.
