1. Conversion of Units Capacity and Volume

2. These are 1 dimensional…so each step moves the decimal 1 place
Units of capacity dL hL
daL L kL cL mL
DIVIDE by 10 going up
MULTIPLY by 10 going down

3. These are 3 dimensional…so each step moves the decimal 3 places
Units of volume
dm3
hm3
dam3 m3
km3
cm3
mm3
DIVIDE by 1000 for each step going UP
MULTIPLY by 1000 for each step going DOWN
