A one cubic centimeter volume is equal to one milliliter How many liters of water would be required to fill a cubical container that is one meter long on each side?

Answer 1

There are 100 centimetres in a metre.

So, if the water can be considered as solid cubes each one centimetre along each side then a line of 100 would cover the width of the container.

A square 100 wide by 100 deep would cover the base of the container.

A further 99 layers would fill the container.

So now we have 100 x 100 x 100, or 1,000,000 cubes of water each 1 cm3 in volume

As 1 cm3 is 1 millilitre, which is 1/1000 of a litre, then 1,000 litres would fill the container.

Answer 2

One cubic centimeter of pure water has a mass of one gram.

Answer 3

1 cubic centimeter and 1 milliliter are equal volumes, and may be used interchangably.

Answer 4

Gram.
