Milliliters
Milliliters (ml or mL) is a unit of volume in the SI system, which is commonly used in science, medicine, and everyday life. It is a derived unit, meaning it is not a fundamental unit but is based on the fundamental unit of length, the meter.
Definition[edit | edit source]
A milliliter is defined as one thousandth of a liter (L), which is the volume of a cube with sides of 0.1 meters. In other words, 1 mL = 0.001 L. This makes it a convenient unit for measuring small volumes.
Usage[edit | edit source]
Milliliters are widely used in many fields. In medicine, they are used to measure the volume of liquids such as medications or blood. In chemistry, they are used to measure the volume of chemical substances. In everyday life, they are used to measure the volume of liquids such as water, milk, or wine.
Conversion[edit | edit source]
Milliliters can be converted to other units of volume. For example, there are 1,000 milliliters in a liter, 29.5735 milliliters in a US fluid ounce, and 28.4131 milliliters in a UK fluid ounce.
