Practice

Convert to smaller units (mL and L) - Questions

1. Compare using $> , <$ , or $=$ .

$9$ liters _____ $> , < , =$ $90$ milliliters

Conversions
1 kilometer = 1,000 meters	1 minute =60 seconds	1 liter =1,000 milliliters
1 meter =100 centimeters	1 hour =60 minutes	1 kilogram =1,000 grams
1 meter = 1,000 millimeters		1 gram =1,000 milligrams
1 centimeter =10 millimeters

2. Compare using $> , <$ , or $=$ .

$\frac{3}{2}$ liters = _____ milliliters

Conversions
1 kilometer = 1,000 meters	1 minute =60 seconds	1 liter =1,000 milliliters
1 meter =100 centimeters	1 hour =60 minutes	1 kilogram =1,000 grams
1 meter = 1,000 millimeters		1 gram =1,000 milligrams
1 centimeter =10 millimeters
