Understanding the Problem
To find out what percentage 20 mL is of 6 liters, we first need to convert the units to be the same. Since 1 liter equals 1000 mL, we convert 6 liters to milliliters.
Conversion of Units
- 6 liters = 6 × 1000 mL = 6000 mL
Now, we have 20 mL and 6000 mL, making it easier to calculate the percentage.
Calculating the Percentage
The formula to find the percentage is:
- Percentage = (Part / Whole) × 100
Here, the "Part" is 20 mL and the "Whole" is 6000 mL.
Substituting the Values
- Percentage = (20 mL / 6000 mL) × 100
Simple Calculation
- Percentage = (20 / 6000) × 100
- Percentage = (1 / 300) × 100
- Percentage = 0.3333...%
To express this as a fraction, we can see that 0.3333...% is equivalent to 1/3%.
Conclusion
- Therefore, 20 mL is 1/3% of 6 liters.
Thus, the correct answer is option 'C': 1/3%.
