Answer:
500 centiliters
Step-by-step explanation:
Using a phase is helpful for conversions. I like this one "King Henry died by drinking chocolate milk".
K- Kilo : 0.001
H- Hecta : 0.01
D- Deca : 0.1
b- base (gram, liter, meter, etc) : 1
d- deci : 10
c-centi : 100
m-milli : 1000
For every step up or down you move the decimal one place over depending on if you go up or down.
So, for 2.5L as centiliters you would move the decimal over two spots giving you 250 centiliters. You can also multiply or divide by 10 for each step taken. so for two steps you would multiply by 100, also giving you an answer of 250 centiliters. This is then multiplied by two as 250 cL was dumped twice.
