Question

What are the basic units of volume in the metric system?

Answer 1

The cubic metre, `m^3`?

Explanation:

Of course, `1*m^3` is an impossibly large volume. We can utilize it in the lab if we use the `dm^3`.

`1` `dm^3` `=` `1xx(10^-1m)^3` `=` `10^-3*m^3` `=` `1*L`.

Thus there are `1000*L` in `1*m^3`.
