Lesson 3.

Volume

Liquids are measured in units of volume, for example, liters, deciliters, or milliliters. You can use liters instead of meters in the metric table. 


Metric table - volume

We see that 1 liter = 1000 milliliters and that 1 liter = 0,01 hectoliters.


You can use the table to convert between one unit of volume measurement to another..

Example: How many milliliters are 6 liters?

 


Example: How many liters are 444 deciliters?
