Step 1:
I'll solve this problem step by step, using the specified LaTeX formatting guidelines:

Step 2:
: Convert units to the same measurement system for each comparison

Comparing $$18,000 \text{ meters} \text{ } \boxed{<} \text{ } 20,000 \text{ meters}
a. Convert kilometers to meters

Step 3:
: Convert kilograms to grams

17 \text{ kg} = 17 \times 1,000 = 17,000 \text{ grams}
Comparing 1,700 \text{ grams} \text{ } \boxed{<} \text{ } 17,000 \text{ grams}

Step 4:
: Convert mixed number and convert liters to milliliters

13 \frac{1}{2} \text{ liters} = 13.5 \times 1,000 = 13,500 \text{ milliliters}
Comparing 13 \frac{1}{2} \text{ liters} = 13,500 \text{ milliliters} \text{ } \boxed{=} \text{ } 13,500 \text{ milliliters}

Final Answer

a. 18 \text{ km } < 20,000 \text{ meters} b. 1,700 \text{ grams } < 17 \text{ kg} c. 13 \frac{1}{2} \text{ liters } = 13,500 \text{ milliliters}
