Convert 500 milliliters to liters

Explanation

Let's convert 500 milliliters to liters, or ml to l as one could put it.

First, we need to calculate the conversion factor using the units respective values. We find 0.001.

Then we multiply this conversion factor by the number of milliliters. In this case 500.

Therefore, 500 milliliters is equal to 0.5 liters.

Formula

1 ml=0.001 l

Some Facts

In medicine, the amount of blood of a patient is estimated with a simple formula, 70 ml times the body weight in kilograms. For an average male adult of 75 kg this gives us 5.25 liters of blood. Thus, you would need roughly 715 000 people to fill up an entire olympic swimming pool with blood.
