Convert 1 cm³ to ml. 

Solution for "Convert 1 cm³ to ml"

To convert 1 cm³ to ml, we need to understand the relationship between cubic centimeters (cm³) and milliliters (ml). Both are units used to measure volume, and their relationship is direct:

1 cm³ is exactly equal to 1 ml.

This is because the metric system defines that:

• 1 cubic meter (m³) = 1,000 liters (l)
• 1 liter (l) = 1,000 milliliters (ml)

Let’s break this down step by step:

1. 1 meter (m) = 100 centimeters (cm)

2. Therefore, the volume of 1 cubic meter (m³) is:

   (100 cm)³ = 100 × 100 × 100 cm³ = 1,000,000 cm³

3. Since 1 m³ = 1,000 liters, it follows that:

   1,000,000 cm³ = 1,000 l

4. Simplifying further, we see that 1 cm³ = 1 ml because:

   1,000,000 cm³ ÷ 1,000 = 1,000 ml ⇒ 1 cm³ = 1 ml.

So, the direct conversion is:

1 cm³ = 1 ml.
