Classify True and False statements:

(c) 8.05L = 8L 50ml ---------------
(d) 0.310L = 31ml ---------------

Solution:
1] 2.070L = 2L 70ml ---> True
2.07 L can be written as 2L + 0.70 L
1 litre = 1000 ml
0.070 litre = 0.07× 1000/1 = 70ml
( we have neglected zero after 7 because it has no value)
# Thus, 2.070L can be written as 2L 70ml
-----------------------------------------------------------
2] 3.02L = 3L 200ml ---> False
3.02 L can be written as 3L+ 0.02 L
1 litre = 1000 ml
0.02 litre = 0.02 ×1000 = 20 ml
# Thus, 3.02 L can be written as 3L 20ml
-----------------------------------------------------------
3] 8.05L = 8L 50ml ----> True
8.05 L can be written as 8L+ 0.05L
1 litre = 1000 ml
0.05 L = 0.05 × 1000 = 50 ml
# Thus, 8.05 L can be written as 8L 50ml
-----------------------------------------------------------
4] 0.310L = 31ml ----> False
1 litre = 1000 ml
0.31 L = 0.31 × 1000 = 310 ml
# Thus, 0.310 L can be written as 310 ml
----------------------------------------------------------
Extra points:
1) To convert higher unit to smaller unit multiply with specific number
For example, 2m to cm [ 1 m = 100cm]
= 2 × 100 = 200 cm
2L to ml [ 1 L = 1000 ml]
= 2 × 1000 = 2000 ml
5 km to m [ 1 km = 1000m]
= 5× 1000 = 5000 m
-----------------------------------------------------------
2) To convert smaller unit to higher unit divide with specific number
For example 2 cm to m
= 2/100 = 0.02 m
2ml to L
= 2/1000 = 0.002 L
2 m to km
= 2/1000 = 0.002 km
