To convert 5.1 milliliters into liters we have to multiply 5.1 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

5.1 ml → V_(L)

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

V_(L) = 5.1 ml × 0.001 L

V_(L) = 0.0051 L

The final result is:

5.1 ml → 0.0051 L

We conclude that 5.1 milliliters is equivalent to 0.0051 liters:

5.1 milliliters = 0.0051 liters
