Litres and Millilitres: Hot Chocolate Night
It’s a chilly evening and the stars are out. Grandma Bea is warming a big pot of hot chocolate for Millie and her friends! Big amounts of liquid are measured in litres (L).
Remember: 1 L = 1000 ml. A mug holds about 250 ml, so 4 mugs of 250 ml fill 1 L. To change litres to millilitres, multiply by 1000: 3 L = 3000 ml.
Magic trick: Four 250s make 1000: 250, 500, 750, 1000. Four mugs is one litre!
