How many microliters are in 1 milliliter?

Explanation:
Converting between milli- and micro- prefixes in liters is what this item asks you to do. Milli- means one thousandth of a unit, micro- means one millionth. Since a milliliter is one thousandth of a liter and a microliter is one millionth of a liter, there are 1000 microliters in every milliliter. So 1 milliliter equals 1000 microliters. This follows from the fact that moving from milli- to micro- is a factor of 1000 in size.
