3rd grade / Measurements / Calculate / Add liters and milliliters
To add litres and millilitres together, you first need to convert the litres to millilitres. This is because litres and millilitres are related but different units of measurement for volume, and you cannot directly add them without first converting them to the same unit. Here's how to do it:
Convert litres to millilitres: As there are 1,000 millilitres in a litre, you need to multiply the number of litres by 1,000 to convert it to millilitres.
For example, let's say you have 3 litres and 250 millilitres. To convert the 3 litres to millilitres, you would multiply by 1,000:
3 litres x 1,000 = 3,000 millilitres
Add the converted volume to the millilitres: Now that you have the volume in millilitres, you can add it to the other volume, which is already in millilitres.
3,000 ml + 250 ml = 3,250 ml
So, the combined volume of 3 litres and 250 millilitres is 3,250 millilitres.
Another example, add 1.3 litres and 740 millilitres.
Converting the litres to millilitres we have 1.3 L x 1,000 = 1,300 ml.
Adding the millilitres we have 1,300 ml + 740 ml = 2,040 ml.
So, the combined volume of 1.3 litres and 740 millilitres is 2,040 millilitres.
This topic asks you to add volumes in litres and millilitres together by first converting the litres to millilitres. Your answers should be in millilitres.
With our quick math tests you will be revising "Add liters and milliliters" in 2 simple steps. The math in our tests consists of 16 questions that ask you to add liters and milliliters by converting the liters to milliliters and then adding the volumes together.
These math tests are designed to round off your learning experience here at Free Math Games by testing whether you can correctly recognize the math you have learned (in the multiple choice test) and that you can correctly enter the correct answers (in the writing test).
Make sure you have chosen the correct topic before starting! Although these tests are timed, try to relax and concentrate on getting the answers right at first - later you can try the tests again more quickly.
The two types of tests are:
Key features of our math tests include:
You should expect to score 8+ / 10 in each test before you select a new topic. It is a good idea to repeat the test for each topic you do after two weeks to "reinforce" the math for that topic
UXO * Duck shoot * The frog flies * Pong * Cat and mouse * The beetle and the bee
Rock fall * Four in a row * Sow grow * Choose or lose * Mix and match
This is a multiple choice activity similar to "What is it" in the Math lessons - you are shown a randomly selected question from the topic you are using. A selection of topic answers are displayed as a list. If you click/tap the speaker beside any answer you will hear the audio for that answer.
For each question, you must click on the answer that matches that question. If your answer is correct you will hear a bell and one star will be lit. The next question will be shown. If your answer is wrong, a box will open showing you what the correct answer was.
The test is timed, and the clock starts when you click the Start button. The clock stops when you click your final answer. At the end of your test a screen will tell you how many of the questions you got right and how long you took to complete the test.
The writing test checks whether you can type the correct answer using your keyboard. This test is also timed. You can do the test many times until you get a good score. To start the test, click on the "Writing test" sign in the navigation board, then click on the "Start the test" arrow.
A random problem from your selected topic is shown. Beneath the problem there is a white box into which you should type the answer. If you need a little help you can click on the "Help me" button for a tip. Only use the help if you really need to.
If you type the answer correctly your device will automatically light a star. If you have entered your answer and no star lights up, click on the tick or press Enter to check your answer. When you have tried all the questions, a screen will show you how many questions you answered correctly and how long it took.
* Try to score 8 out of 10 in both test before you choose a new topic *
* It is OK to do the tests many times if you need to *
