Question

Which of the following is not equal to 485 L?


0.485 kL
4.85 x 104 mL
48,500 cL
4.85 x 108 µL

Answer 1

Answer:

$4.85 * 10^4\ mL$

Explanation:

Given

485 L

Required

Determine the measurement not equal to 485L

$0.485\ kL$

From standard unit of conversion;

1 KL = 1000 L

Multiply both sides by 485

$485 * 1 KL = 485 * 1000 L$

$485KL = 485000L$

Divide both sides by 1000

$\frac{485KL}{1000} = \frac{485000L}{1000}$

$0.485KL = 485L$  ---- This is equivalent

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$4.85 * 10^4\ mL$

From standard unit of conversion;

1000 mL = 1 L

Multiply both sides by 485

$485 * 1000 mL = 1 L * 485$

$485000\ mL = 485\ L$

Convert to standard form

$4.85 * 10^5\ mL = 485\ L$

Hence; $4.85 * 10^4\ mL$ is not equivalent to 485L

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$48500 \ cL$

From standard unit of conversion;

100 cL = 1 L

Multiply both sides by 485

$485 * 100 cL = 1 L * 485$

$48500\ cL = 485\ L$

Convert to standard form

$4.85 * 10^4\ cL = 485\ L$ ---- This is equivalent

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$4.85 * 10^8$ μL

From standard unit of conversion;

1000000 μL = 1 L

Multiply both sides by 485

$485 * 1000000uL = 1 L * 485$

$485000000uL = 485\ L$

Convert to standard form

$4.85 * 10^8\ uL = 485\ L$ ---- This is equivalent

From the list of given options;

$4.85 * 10^4\ mL$ is not equivalent to 485L
