You can put this solution on YOUR website!
In terms of just units:
[ liters ] x [ ml / liter ] = [ ml ]
The conversion factor, [ ml/liter ] = +1000%2F1+
-----------------------------------------------
Also:
[ liters/wkday ] x [ wkdays/wk ] = [ liters/wk ]
So, I can say:
+%282.5%2A5+%2B+3+%29%2A%28+1000%2F1+%29+ = volume of water, in
milliliters, Sasha drinks each week.
+%28+12.5+%2B+3+%29%2A1000+=+15.5%2A1000+
+15.5%2A1000+=+15500+
15,500 ml/wk
