Our starting units are milliliters and our finishing unit must be liters.
The conversion we know between liters and milliliters is:
1 l = 1000 ml.
By the way, if 1l really is the same as 1000ml, then (1l / 1000ml) = 1, just like 3 / 3 = 1 or whatever. We will use that trick to multiply by 1 to do our conversion.
First, work out just the units:
ml x ( l / ml ) = l
Notice if you draw the fraction with a bar, you can see the ml will cancel each other out, and you will be left with liters on the left and liters on the right. That will be our conversion formula:
61 ml x ( 1 l / 1000 ml ) = l
Cancel out the ml:
61 x ( 1 / 1000 ) = ?
Now, simplify:
61 / 1000 = ?
0.061 l
