Convert 0.5 liters to milliliters.

  • A. 50 ml
  • B. 500 ml
  • C. 5 ml
  • D. 0.5 ml
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000 as there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter. Therefore, when converting 0.5 liters to milliliters, the correct answer is 0.5 x 1000 = 500 ml. Choice A (50 ml) is incorrect because it represents the conversion of 0.05 liters, not 0.5 liters. Choice C (5 ml) is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 0.005 liters. Choice D (0.5 ml) is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct conversion from liters to milliliters.
