Q.
• 432 ml = _____cm3
A.
• 432 ml = 432 cm3
• No, this is not a mistake: Your notes say that a ml=cc=cm3
• This means that 10 ml=10cc=10cm3
• It doesn’t matter what the number is, it would be the same for all 3. In this case 432ml=432cc=432cm3
Q.
• .07L = _______cc
A.
• .07 L = 70 cc
• Some of you wanted to say it was the same thing (.07), but a L is not a ml!
• ml=cc• 1st you would have to convert the L to a ml
(move the decimal 3 jumps to the right)• You now have 70ml• Since a ml=cc, 70ml= 70cc
