2000color(white)(i)mL

Explanation:

To determine the number of millilitres in 2 litres, we need to use a conversion factor. A conversion factor is a ratio expressed as a fraction that can be used to convert between units.

For example:

  • (1color(white)(i)"day")/(24color(white)(i)"hours")
  • (1color(white)(i)"minute")/(60color(white)(i)"seconds")
  • (12color(white)(i)"things")/(1color(white)(i)"dozen")

To convert 2color(white)(i)L to mL, multiply 2color(white)(i)L by the conversion factor:

(1000color(white)(i)mL)/(1color(white)(i)L)

Thus:

2color(white)(i)Lxx(1000color(white)(i)mL)/(1color(white)(i)L)

The "L" unit cancels out in the numerator and denominator.

2color(red)cancelcolor(black)Lxx(1000color(white)(i)mL)/(1color(red)cancelcolor(black)L)

Solve.

color(green)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)2000color(white)(i)mLcolor(white)(a/a)|)))
