140 centiliters is equivalent to 1.4 liters.

We know (by definition) that: 1 centiliter ≈ 0.01 liter

We can set up a proportion to solve for the number of liters.

1   centiliter 140   centiliter ≈ 0.01   liter x   liter

Now, we cross multiply to solve for our unknown x:

x   liter ≈ 140   centiliter 1   centiliter * 0.01   liter → x   liter ≈ 1.4000000000000001   liter

Conclusion: 140   centiliter ≈ 1.4000000000000001   liter

The inverse of the conversion factor is that 1 liter is equal to 0.714285714285714 times 140 centiliters.

It can also be expressed as: 140 centiliters is equal to 1 0.714285714285714 liters.

Approximation

An approximate numerical result would be: one hundred and forty centiliters is about zero liters, or alternatively, a liter is about zero point seven one times one hundred and forty centiliters.

Units involved

This is how the units in this conversion are defined:

Centiliters

"Derived unit, defined as one-hundredth of a litre."

Liters

"The litre (British spelling) or liter (American spelling) is an SI accepted metric system unit of volume equal to 1 cubic decimetre (dm3), 1,000 cubic centimetres (cm3) or 1/1,000 cubic metre. A cubic decimetre (or litre) occupies a volume of 10×10×10 centimetres (see figure) and is thus equal to one-thousandth of a cubic metre."

[1] The precision is 15 significant digits (fourteen digits to the right of the decimal point).
