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 480 milliliters into liters we have to multiply 480 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

480 ml → V_(L)

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

V_(L) = 480 ml × 0.001 L

V_(L) = 0.48 L

The final result is:

480 ml → 0.48 L

We conclude that 480 milliliters is equivalent to 0.48 liters:

480 milliliters = 0.48 liters
