How many liters are in one kiloliter?

  1. 500 liters

  2. 1000 liters

  3. 1500 liters

  4. 2000 liters

The correct answer is: 1000 liters

One kiloliter is equivalent to 1000 liters because the metric prefix "kilo-" denotes a factor of one thousand. Therefore, when converting kiloliters to liters, you multiply the number of kiloliters by 1000. Since one kiloliter represents a volume of 1000 liters, this understanding of the metric system's unit conversions confirms that the correct answer is indeed 1000 liters. The metric system is based on powers of ten, making conversions straightforward, and knowing that there are 1000 liters in a kiloliter is a foundational concept in measurement.
