To express the capacity of a water tank in milliliters when you are given a measurement in liters, you need to use the conversion factor between liters and milliliters. Knowing that 1 liter is equivalent to 1000 milliliters, you can follow these steps:
1. Begin with the given capacity of the water tank, which is 300 liters.
2. Use the conversion factor: 1 liter = 1000 milliliters.
3. Multiply the number of liters by the conversion factor to convert the capacity to milliliters.
Step-by-step, it looks like this:
- Start with the given capacity: 300 liters.
- Multiply by the conversion factor (1000 milliliters per liter).
[tex]\[ 300 \text{ liters} \times 1000 \text{ milliliters/liter} = 300000 \text{ milliliters} \][/tex]
Therefore, the capacity of the water tank in milliliters is [tex]\( 300000 \)[/tex] milliliters.
