Conversion formula

The conversion factor from milliliters to liters is 0.001, which means that 1 milliliter is equal to 0.001 liters:

1 ml = 0.001 L

To convert 1200 milliliters into liters we have to multiply 1200 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from milliliters to liters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ml → 0.001 L

1200 ml → V_(L)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the volume V in liters:

V_(L) = 1200 ml × 0.001 L

V_(L) = 1.2 L

The final result is:

1200 ml → 1.2 L

We conclude that 1200 milliliters is equivalent to 1.2 liters:

1200 milliliters = 1.2 liters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 liter is equal to 0.83333333333333 × 1200 milliliters.

Another way is saying that 1200 milliliters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.83333333333333 liters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand two hundred milliliters is approximately one point two liters:

1200 ml ≅ 1.2 L

An alternative is also that one liter is approximately zero point eight three three times one thousand two hundred milliliters.
