Question

here is what i need to convert 9.5l to Gl

Answer 1

Ok, you're trying to convert a number of liters to Gigaliters.

First we need to know the conversion factor between them. 1 Gigaliter = 1 billion liters = 10⁹ liters

So now we can do the conversion:

9.5 liters x (1 Gigaliter / 10⁹ liters)

The 'liters' units cancel and we're left with

9.5 / 10⁹ Gl

This is the same as

9.5 x 10^-9 Gl
