How many kiloliters are in 473 liters?

Answer 1

Well, first lets go over the metric system prefixes. Kilo, Hecto, Deca, BASE UNIT, Deci, Centi, Milli. Here's an acronym to remember, King Henry Died Unexpectedly Drinking Cement Mix (or Chocolate Milk).

So if you want to convert 473 liters to kiloliters, move the decimal over however many times to the left as it does to get from Base Unit (liter) to Kilo (kiloliter). 1000 liters are in a kiloliter, so it is .473 kiloliters.

Just for future advice, with the metric system it is as simple as moving a decimal. 10 cm=1 decimeter. 100 cm= 1 meter. 1000 ml= 1 liter. To convert a smaller unit (milli, for example) to a larger unit (base unit for example), you move the decimal times however times to the left (milli, centi, deci, base unit). 3 spaces, so 1000 milliliters are in a liter. I hope that makes sense!

Answer 2

473 ml is in 0.473 litre, since there are 1000 ml to 1 litre.

Answer 3
