One milliliter is equivalent to which of the following?

1/10 of a liter
1/100 of a liter
1/1000 of a liter
1/10000 of a liter

The correct answer is: 1/10 of a liter

The correct equivalence is that one milliliter is equal to 1/1000 of a liter. This is based on the metric system, where the prefix "milli-" denotes a factor of one-thousandth. Therefore, when you see milliliters and liters, you can easily convert between them with this relationship: there are 1000 milliliters in one liter. In this case, recognizing that milliliters are a smaller unit compared to liters helps clarify the correct relationship. The other options suggest larger fractions of a liter, which do not correspond to the actual metric conversion.
