Liquids are measured in volume. The volume of a liquid is the amount of space it takes up in a container, whereas the capacity is the total amount of liquid that can be contained in a container.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-definition-of-liter\">Definition of Liter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">A liter is a metric unit of volume primarily used to measure liquids. The abbreviation of a liter is \u201cL\u201d or \u201cl\u201d. Smaller quantities of liquid are measured in milliliters (mL). 1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-what-can-we-measure-using-the-unit-liter\">What Can We Measure Using the Unit Liter?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">We usually measure solid weights using units like pounds, ounces, grams and kilograms. We measure liquids or fluids using volume, which is measured in Liters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">So, what can we measure in liters?&nbsp;The water you drink, the petrol you fill in your car, the oils you use, the milk that you drink, etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"404\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/liter-1.png\" alt=\"A measuring jug\" class=\"wp-image-10777\" title=\"A measuring jug\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/liter-1.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/liter-1-300x195.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-why-do-we-use-liter-to-measure-liquid-\"><strong>Why Do We Use Liter to Measure Liquid?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s take three containers of different shapes and fill them with water. Can you tell which container has more water?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"347\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/liter2.png\" alt=\"Differently shaped containers with water\" class=\"wp-image-10778\" title=\"Differently shaped containers with water\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/liter2.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/liter2-300x168.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">It is not possible to decide which container has more water just by looking at it. We need to measure the water in all the containers and express it in the same unit. That standard unit of measuring liquid is called a liter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Liquids such as water, milk, petrol, and oil are measured in liters, milliliters, centiliters, kiloliters, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-what-is-a-milliliter-\"><strong>What Is a Milliliter?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">A milliliter is a smaller metric unit that measures the capacity of a liquid. It is used to measure smaller quantities of liquid, such as medicinal liquids. The abbreviation of a milliliter is mL.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/liter3.png\" alt=\"A measuring jug with milliliter units\" class=\"wp-image-10779\" title=\"A measuring jug with milliliter units\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/liter3.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/liter3-300x169.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Observe the water jug in the image above. It can hold 1 L of water. But the jug also contains smaller units of measurement, and the water in it can be measured in milliliters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-liters-to-milliliters-conversion-\"><strong>Liters to Milliliters Conversion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">We know that 1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters. So, to convert liters into milliliters, we have to multiply by 1000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s say you want to convert 5 liters into milliliters. So, 5 L $= (5 \\times 1000)$ mL $= 5000$ mL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Similarly, 4, 6, and 8 liters are equal to 4000, 6000, and 8000 milliliters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">So it must be clear by now that to convert liter into milliliters, you just have to add three zeros to the right of the number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-milliliters-to-liters-conversion-\"><strong>Milliliters to Liters Conversion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">To convert milliliters into liters, you have to take the opposite route. You will have to divide the given quantity of milliliters by thousand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s say you want to convert 8000 milliliters into liters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">So, 8000 mL $= (8000\/1000)$ L $= 8$ L<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Similarly, 4000, 6000, and 7000 milliliters are 4 L, 6 L, and 7 L.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-relationship-of-liter-with-other-metrics-\"><strong>Relationship of Liter with Other Metrics<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"367\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/liter-math.png\" alt=\"Relationship between liter and metric units\" class=\"wp-image-11165\" title=\"Relationship between liter and metric units\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/liter-math.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/liter-math-300x178.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"367\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/liter4.png\" alt=\"Conversion between metric units of volume\" class=\"wp-image-10780\" title=\"Conversion between metric units of volume\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/liter4.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/liter4-300x178.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-solved-examples\">Solved Examples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Example 1:<\/strong> <strong>Siri purchased 3 cans of apple juice of 1 L each. She drank 1500 mL of juice. How much juice is left with her?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Solution:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Siri purchased 3 cans of apple juice of 1 L each. So, the total mL of juice with Siri is $(3 \\times 1000)$ L $= 3000$ Liters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Out of 3000 mL of juice, Siri drank 1500 mL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">So, the total mL of juice left with Siri is 3000 mL $\u2013$ $1500$ mL  $= 1500$ mL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Example 2<\/strong>: <strong>Jack bought 4 empty jars to fill with milk. Each jar can hold 2 liters and 250 milliliters of milk. How many liters of milk does he require to fill all 4 jars?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">First, let us determine how many milliliters of milk each jar can hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Given, 1 jar $= 2$ liters 250 milliliter<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">or, 1 jar $= (2 \\times 1000 + 250)$ ml $= 2250$ ml<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">So one jar can hold 2250 milliliters. Then, 4 jars can hold $(2250 \\times 4)$ ml $= 9000$ ml<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Now, let\u2019s convert 9000 milliliters into liters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">9000 ml $= 9000\/1000 L = 9$ L<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, Jack requires 9 liters of milk to fill all 4 jars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Example 3:<\/strong> <strong>A diesel tanker can hold 5000 liters of diesel.
