The metric system uses powers of 10 which makes it mathematically easy to convert units.

Every unit of measurement can be derived from any other unit. For example, one liter is the same volume as one cubic decimeter (cube with each side being 1dm or 10cm).

One gram of water at 4 degrees Celsius is one cubic centimeter.
