Simply divide 1
m (meter) in
exactly 10 parts,
each of which measures
10 cm
(centimeters).
Then make a cube container that is
10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm
(1 000 cmณ)
that we can fill with water.
|
|
And like magic, when you
fill this cube container with water,
it has the volume
of exactly 1
L (liter).
ALL SIMPLY RELATED IN

But then, when you place this
cube filled with water on a

that you can divide 1 meter
by exactly 10 equal parts
(10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm)

a cube (1000 cmณ) of it to fill with
water
and you will find that it contains
exactly 1 L (1 litre) (1000 mL)
of water
and is the mass of exactly 1
kg (1 kilogram) (1000 g).
