A fountain can hold 53,000 deciliters of water. How many kiloliters is that

The answer is 5.3 kL.Deci-means one-tenth of a unit and Kilo means 1,000 unitsThe unit we are talking about here is liter. So combining the terms we would have:1 liter = 10 deciliters1 kiloliter =1,000LSo taking this into account, we can convert 53,000 dL into kL:[tex]53,000dL[/tex] x [tex] \frac{1L}{10dL} [/tex] x [tex] \frac{1kL}{1,000L} [/tex]= 5.3kLSo there are 5.3kL in 53,000dL
