What is 0.2 liters when converted to milliliters?

  • A. 20 ml
  • B. 200 ml
  • C. 2 ml
  • D. 2000 ml
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000, not 10000. Therefore, 0.2 liters equals 200 ml (0.2 x 1000 = 200 ml). Choice A, 20 ml, is incorrect because it's the result of multiplying by 10 instead of 1000. Choice C, 2 ml, is incorrect as it's the result of ignoring the decimal point. Choice D, 2000 ml, is incorrect because it's the result of multiplying by 10000.
