134,000 centiliters

Answer 1

To convert hectoliters to centiliters, we can use the metric conversions provided:

1 hectoliter (hl) = 100 liters (l) 1 liter (l) = 100 centiliters (cl)

Therefore:

1 hectoliter = 100 liters × 100 centiliters/liter = 10,000 centiliters

Now, we have 1.34 hectoliters:

1.34 hectoliters × 10,000 centiliters/hectoliter = 13,400 centiliters

So, there are 13,400 centiliters of water in the bucket.
