Use the conversion ratio 1 liter = 1,000 milliliters to complete the problem. It may help set up a proportion. A cylinder hold 6750 milliliters. How many liters does it hold.

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion using the conversion ratio of 1 liter = 1,000 milliliters.

Let x be the number of liters the cylinder holds.

According to the given information, we have the equation:

1 liter/1,000 milliliters = x liters/6,750 milliliters

To solve for x, we can cross multiply and then divide to isolate x:

1 * 6,750 = 1,000 * x

6,750 = 1,000x

Dividing both sides by 1,000:

6.75 = x

Therefore, the cylinder holds 6.75 liters.
