Question

Convert 0.3 centiliters to milliliters.

• A. 3 Milliliters
• B. 30 Milliliters
• C. 1 Milliliter

Answer 1

The correct option is A 3 Milliliters

Centiliter is a unit of volume.
Liter is the standard unit of volume.

Metric units are similar to base 10 system.

Ones	Tenths	Hundredths	Thousandths
Liter	Deci	Centi	Milli

As we move rightwards, we multiply by 10 by a certian number of times.

If we have centilitres and we want to find the quantity in millilitres then we have to multiply the quantity in centilitres by 10.

$1\text{Centiliter}=10\times 1\text{Milliliter}$
$\Rightarrow 0.3\times 1\text{Centiliter}=0.3\times 10\times 1\text{Milliliter}$
$\Rightarrow 0.3\text{Centiliters}=3\text{Milliliters}$
