- Step 3: Calculate: 0.6 ml
- Result: 12 drops equal 0.6 milliliters
- Convert 20 drops to milliliters:
- Step 1: Drops = 20
- Step 2: 20 x 0.05
- Step 3: 1.0 ml
- Result: 20 drops corresponds to 1.0 milliliters
- Convert 5 drops to milliliters:
- Step 1: Drops = 5
- Step 2: 5 x 0.05
- Step 3: 0.25 ml
- Result: 5 drops equal 0.25 milliliters
