How to Do Conversions
In the next screens, you are asked to convert between SI Units of volume.
To convert from a larger unit to a smaller unit
- Find by how many times the larger unit is bigger than the smaller unit
- Multiply the larger unit by this number
To convert from a smaller unit to a larger unit
- Find by how many times the smaller unit is less than the larger unit
- Divide the smaller unit by this number
Example
Convert 45 millilitres to microlitres.
Convert 45 millilitres to microlitres.
1 ml = 10-3 l
1 µl = 10-6 l
1 ml is 10-3 times ie 103 times larger than 1 µl
10-6
Thus: 45 ml = 45 x 1000 µl = 45000 µl
1 µl = 10-6 l
1 ml is 10-3 times ie 103 times larger than 1 µl
10-6
Thus: 45 ml = 45 x 1000 µl = 45000 µl

Example
Convert 565 microlitres to millilitres.
Convert 565 microlitres to millilitres.
1 ml = 10-3 l
1 µl = 10-6 l
Thus: 565 µl = 565 / 1000 ml = 0.565 ml
1 µl = 10-6 l
1 µl is 10-3 times ie 103 times smaller than a ml
10-6Thus: 565 µl = 565 / 1000 ml = 0.565 ml
