Respuesta :

Mega means "millions", and how many zeros are in 1 million? 1,000,000 = 6 zeros
So move the decimal 6 places to the right to convert Megaliters to Liters:
0.005090 ML = 0005090.00 L
= 5,080 L

Answer: 5,090 L

Step-by-step explanation:

Mega, in mathematical terms means million. The "M" represents million in the word mega.

Now, how many zeros does 1 million have? If you said 6, you are correct! Since 1 million has six zeros, we will move the decimal point 6 times. You'll have to multiply 0.005090 by 1,000,000. Let's do that!

So, we see that decimal point is by 2 zeros. If we move it 6 times by multiplying 0.005090 by 1,000,000, we'll get our answer. (Skip this if you want the answer)
