The metric system uses units and prefixes to units.
Here, in both cases, the unit is the litre - milli-litre and litre
The milli- prefix means one thousandth (1/1000)
Therefore 1 millilitre is one thousandth of a litre - it is much smaller.
----------------------------------------------------------
The reason for the prefixes is so that the numbers stay reasonable.
For example, some buses weighs about 17,000,000 grams when empty, or 23,000,000 grams when fully laden. With these large numbers it can be hard to appreciate what they mean. However, the metric system uses a system of prefixes.
As kilo- means 1000, 1 kg = 1000g, so the empty and laden weights of the bus can be re-written as 17,000,000 g = 17,000 kg, and 23,000,000 g = 23,000 kg - which are much easier to appreciate as a bag of sugar weights 1 kg and the bus can now be thought of in terms of thousands of bags of sugar.
The metric system goes further in that mega- is the prefix for a million, so the bus can be considered as 17 Mg and 23 Mg respectively - but 1 megagram (Mg) is called 1 tonne, so the bus weighs 17 tonnes unladen and 23 tonnes laden. (The name Tonne (pronounced 'ton') is used as 1 Tonne = 1000 kg is quite close to 1 [long] ton = 2240 lbs.)
The prefixes apply to all units, so 1 km = 1000 m , 1 Mm = 1000000 m, 1 mm (1 millimetre) = 1/1000 m, etc.
One millilitre is 0.001 litre. 750 millilitre is 0.750 litre.
Yes. The litre (and so the millilitre) was adopted as the standard unit of volume instead of the cubic centimetre which is almost the same as a millilitre (but not quite). 1 litre = 1000 millilitre = 1000.027 c.c. (at 4 deg.C and 760 mm atmospheric pressure).
One millilitre is 0.001 litre. So 710 millilitre is 0.710 litre. so a 1.42 litre bottle is bigger than a 0.71 litre bottle.
A microlitre is one millionth of a litre. A millilitre is one thousandth of a litre. Therefore there are one thousand microliltres in on millilitre. So 88μL is 0.088mL.
1 millilitre = 0.001 litre
There is one centimetre cubed in a millilitre. A centimetre cubed is the same thing as a millilitre.
Is it a litre
litre of cm3 ( cm3 is same as millilitre)
One millilitre is 0.001 litre. 750 millilitre is 0.750 litre.
mililitre ---------------- . The millilitre is 0,001 litre. Litre is an "accepted" value in SI equal to 1 dm3.
1000 milliliters
Yes. The litre (and so the millilitre) was adopted as the standard unit of volume instead of the cubic centimetre which is almost the same as a millilitre (but not quite). 1 litre = 1000 millilitre = 1000.027 c.c. (at 4 deg.C and 760 mm atmospheric pressure).
One millilitre is 0.001 litre. So 710 millilitre is 0.710 litre. so a 1.42 litre bottle is bigger than a 0.71 litre bottle.
1 millilitre = 1/1000 of a litre = 0.001 litre.
A millilitre or a litre.
It is the abbreviation of millilitre. A millilitre is one thousandth of a litre. A teaspoon is about 5 ml.
500 millilitre is half (1/2) of 1 litre.
