GuruMulti-step reasoning.
Why does 1 ml = 1 cm³?
- By definition — both measure 1 cubic centimetre of space. 1 litre = 1,000 ml = 1,000 cm³ = 1 dm³.
- Coincidence.
- Convention.
- Both small.
Answer: By definition — both measure 1 cubic centimetre of space. 1 litre = 1,000 ml = 1,000 cm³ = 1 dm³.. Defined relationship.
