Question
You have a sample that contains 25 microliters of a solution. What is the equivalent number of milliliters?
Solution
The conversion from microliters (µL) to milliliters (mL) is straightforward because both are units of volume in the metric system.
1 milliliter (mL) is equal to 1000 microliters (µL).
So, to convert 25 microliters (µL) to milliliters (mL), you would use the following steps:
-
Set up the conversion so the desired unit will be cancelled out. In this case, we want mL to remain, so we set up the conversion as follows:
25 µL x (1 mL / 1000 µL)
-
The µL units cancel out, leaving us with mL.
-
Do the math: 25 / 1000 = 0.025 mL
So, 25 microliters is equivalent to 0.025 milliliters.
