The metric system is an international system of measurement based on the decimal system. It was developed in France in the late 18th century and has since become the standard system of measurement in most countries around the world.
In the metric system, the base unit of volume is the liter (L). A liter is defined as the volume of a cube with sides that are 10 centimeters long.
A milliliter (mL) is a unit of volume that is equal to one-thousandth of a liter (mL)
Therefore, 2000 mL is equal to 2 liters.
The liter is widely used in a variety of applications, including:
There are a number of pain points and motivations associated with measuring volume in liters:
