Questions: An insulin syringe for a child has a volume of 0.33 mL. What is this volume in deciliters? 0.00033 dL 0.0033 dL 0.033 dL 0.33 dL 3.3 dL

Solution Steps

To convert milliliters (mL) to deciliters (dL), we need to understand the relationship between these units. There are 10 milliliters in a centiliter and 10 centiliters in a deciliter. Therefore, there are 100 milliliters in a deciliter.

Given that the volume is 0.33 mL, we convert this to deciliters by dividing by 100:

\[ 0.33 \, \text{mL} \times \frac{1 \, \text{dL}}{100 \, \text{mL}} = 0.0033 \, \text{dL} \]
