Answer:

The ratio of 72 mL to 1 L is $9 : 125$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given to find the ratio of 72 mL to 1 L.

• Ratio of two numbers refers to the comparison of two numbers.
• It gives a measure of how big or small a quantity is, in comparison with the another quantity.
• A ratio can compare two quantities that has same unit and written as $x:y$ or $\frac{x}{y}$
• And compared by doing the division.

In the given problem, one unit of volume is in milliliters and the other in liters.

So, to have the same unit, let us convert liters into milliliters.

As we know, 1liter is equal to 1000milliliters.

Now dividing both the numbers, $\dfrac{72}{1000}$

Taking out the common factors from both the numbers, we remain with

$\dfrac{72}{1000}=\dfrac{9\times 8}{125\times 8}=\dfrac{9}{125}$

Therefore, the ratio of 72 mL to 1 L is $9 : 125$.
