Answer is "7.2 L = 72,000 mL".

Explanation :

1 L = 1000 mL

- To convert liters into milliliters you have to multiply the value by 1000.
  Example : Q :Convert 0.523 L into mL
                 
                    A : 0.523 L = 0.523 x 1000 mL = 523 mL

- To convert milliliters into liters you have to divide the value by 1000.  
  Example : Q :Convert 523 mL into L
                 
                    A : 523 mL =  ( 523 / 1000 )L =  0.523 L    

Hence, the correct conversion for the 7.2 L should be
                 7.2 x 1000 mL = 7,200 mL
