In everyday life, people often meet with measures of volume. In milliliters or liters, as a rule, most of what we meet every day is expressed: the amount of coffee in a glass, milk in one bottle, or liquid ingredient needed to prepare a dish. However, units such as centimeter or cubic meter are also quite popular, so sometimes you have to convert values from one system of measurement to another. Let's see how to perform such operations.
What is a milliliter?
There are many units of measure for volume: gallon, barrel, pint, but the most common is the liter. Today, one liter equals one cubic decimeter or 0.001 cubic meters. Interestingly, before that it was defined as one kilogram of distilled water at normal pressure, but later this system was abandoned, since different liquids at different pressures have different masses, and, accordingly, different volumes.
Milliliteris a fractional unit of a litre. One liter contains 1000 milliliters. One milliliter is equal to 0.001 liters.
Cubic centimeter
Despite the fact that in everyday life we are more accustomed to using a liter and its fractional values, the official unit for measuring volume, adopted in the international system (SI), is a cubic meter or centimeter.
One cubic centimeter is 10-6 or 0.000001 cubic meters.
Conversion of units
Sometimes we have to convert milliliters to cubic centimeters, which can cause some difficulties. In order to facilitate this task, you can use the table.
How, on the contrary, to convert cubic centimeters to milliliters, another table will tell.
With the help of these tables, you can easily convert milliliters to cubic centimeters and vice versa, you just need to select a couple of values, find their ratio and multiply by this amount.
For example, you need to convert 200 milliliters to cubic centimeters. According to the table, 1 milliliter equals 1 cubic centimeter.
200 ml x 1 cm3=200 cm3
Answer: 200 cm3
Thus, the ability to convert volumes from one unit of measure to another is an important skill, which, however, will not be muchefforts. One has only to remember the ratio of fractional units or have reference material at hand.
