Metric unit conversion: volume occupied by 1 litre of water One litre is defined as one cubic decimetre (1 dm³). Select the correct equivalent volume in cubic centimetres (cm³).

Q: Metric unit conversion: volume occupied by 1 litre of water One litre is defined as one cubic decimetre (1 dm³). Select the correct equivalent volume in cubic centimetres (cm³).

Step-by-step 1 litre = 1 dm³.1 dm = 10 cm ⇒ 1 dm³ = (10 cm)³ = 1000 cm³. Final Answer 1000 cm3

Difficulty: Easy

100 cm3
250 cm3
500 cm3
1000 cm3

Correct Answer: 1000 cm3

Explanation:

Step-by-step
1 litre = 1 dm³.1 dm = 10 cm ⇒ 1 dm³ = (10 cm)³ = 1000 cm³.

Final Answer
1000 cm3
