Question

a large pot for cooking has a capacity of 12,000 milliliters. what is the capacity of the large pot, in liters?
a 1.2 liters
b 12 liters
c 120 liters
d 1,200 liters

Explanation:

Step1: Recall unit conversion

We know that \( 1 \text{ liter} = 1000 \text{ milliliters} \), so to convert milliliters to liters, we divide by 1000.

Step2: Perform the conversion

The capacity of the pot is 12,000 milliliters. So we calculate \( \frac{12000}{1000} \).
\( \frac{12000}{1000} = 12 \) liters.

Answer:

B. 12 liters
