Answer (2)

Whenever you're dealing with units of measure, the prefix "kilo..." always means " 1,000 ".
6.25 kiloliters = (6.25) x (1,000 liters) = 6,250 liters .

A water tank with a capacity of 6.25 kilolitres holds 6,250 litres when it is full. This conversion is based on the fact that 1 kilolitre is equal to 1,000 litres. Therefore, we multiply 6.25 by 1,000 to get the total volume in litres.
