I keep trying to find a certain metric prefix but i can't seem to find it, i need to know what prefix makes 2mL into 200_L i believe it is 10^-5 but i can't find that on any charts. Any help is much appreciated!

Vanadium 50 said:SI and metric are two different things (for example, the hectare is metric but is not SI), and the author did specify "metric".
The base unit for volume in the metric system is the liter (L).
One liter is equal to 1000 milliliters.
To convert between different metric prefixes, you can use the fact that each prefix represents a power of 10. For example, to convert from milliliters (mL) to liters (L), you would move the decimal point three places to the left.
Sure, to convert 2 milliliters (mL) to liters (L), you would move the decimal point three places to the left, resulting in 0.002 liters (L).
The given example is incorrect. It is not possible for 2 milliliters (mL) to be equal to 200 liters (L). This may be a mistake or a typo.
