Question

How do you convert $6.59kL$ to $L$ ?

Answer 1

Before doing any calculations, take a look at the units you are dealing with.

In your case, you need to convert kiloliters , $kL$ to liters $L$.

If you look at a metric conversion chart, you'll notice that kilo denotes a multiple.

More specifically, the kilo prefix denotes a multiplication factor of $1000$.

So, in order to get from one kiloliter to one liter, you need to multiply the starting unit by ${10}^3$. Simply but kiloliters contains $1000$ liters.

$6.59kL\cdot \frac{{10}^{3}liters}{1kL}=6.59\cdot {10}^{3}L=6590L$

Btw: $kL$ is hardly ever used. If you refer to $1000L$ you use $m^3$ (-cubic meter). It's the same.
