Worksheet: Units (L, dL, mL)

With 1 L standing at 10 dL and 1 dL at 100 mL, those two relations carry all the traffic between three units. Splitting a quantity down into finer units and gathering it back up into larger ones are both practiced, across nine conversions in all.

In mL→L, dL, the last three digits do the work: 500 mL is 5 dL, so 2500 mL is 2 L 5 dL. Shift that split by one place and the L side swells tenfold into 25 L 0 dL. The gap is ten between L and dL but a hundred between dL and mL, so where to cut depends on which pair is involved.

Second of eight lessons, and the ground for all the arithmetic ahead. To figures that were merely read off in Ways to Compare and Units, a tool for shifting between units is now added.
