Answer :

To determine how many milliliters (mL) are in 2 decaliters (daL), we need to follow a series of conversion steps. Let’s carefully break it down.

1. Convert decaliters to liters:
- 1 decaliter (daL) is equal to 10 liters (L).
- Therefore, 2 daL is equal to [tex]\( 2 \times 10 \)[/tex] liters.
- This gives us 20 liters.

2. Convert liters to milliliters:
- 1 liter (L) is equal to 1000 milliliters (mL).
- Therefore, 20 liters is equal to [tex]\( 20 \times 1000 \)[/tex] milliliters.
- This gives us 20,000 milliliters.

Thus, 2 daL is equal to 20,000 mL.

So, the correct answer is:

[tex]\[ 2 \text{ daL} = 20,000 \text{ mL} \][/tex]

Hence, the correct option is:

[tex]\[ 2 \times 10^{4} \text{ mL} \][/tex]
