Convert 1250 mL to L.

See the answer & why

1.25 L

The conversion factor from mL to L is 1/1000. Multiply 1250 by this factor to get 1.25 L. The physical amount stays the same.

A little hint: Use 100 cm = 1 m, 1,000 g = 1 kg, and 1,000 mL = 1 L.

Use the relationship for the units: 100 cm = 1 m, 1,000 g = 1 kg, and 1,000 mL = 1 L.
