Question

Mike wants to make a cup of tea. For this, he needs equal amount of water and milk. He should have of water with 10 centilitres of milk.

• A. 100 milliliters
• B. 1000 milliliters
• C. 1 milliliter

Answer 1

The correct option is A 100 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 want to convert centilitre to millilitre then we need to multiply the amount of centrilitre by 10.

$1\text{Centiliter}=1\times 10\text{Milliliter}$
$\Rightarrow 10\text{Centiliter}=10\times 10\text{Milliliter}$
$\Rightarrow 10\text{Centiliters}=100\text{Milliliters}$
