Metric Conversions: Liters to Milliliters

In this video, Miss Foyer Beck and Miss Buudy teach how to convert measurements of capacity using metric units. The lesson covers basic conversion rules, such as multiplying when converting from larger to smaller units and dividing when converting from smaller to larger units. Two example problems demonstrate these rules: converting 4,000 milliliters to liters and converting 28.41 liters to milliliters. A story scenario is also presented, where students determine if a jug with 4 liters of water is enough to fill five water bottles with 600 milliliters each. The video concludes with a confirmation that there is enough water, with 1,000 milliliters left over.
