since a liter is 1000 ml does it not follow 1 cm =10 ml.

(10cm x 10cm x 10cm = 1000ml)

By definition, 1 liter = 1 cubic decimeter (10cm x 10cm x 10cm = 1000cm³)


Also by definition, 1 liter = 1000 ml.

So:

1000cm³ = 1000ml

Therefore:

1cm³ = 1ml

The Twelfth General Conference on Weights and Measures has defined a liter to be a cubic decimeter (10cm x 10cm x 10cm).

Therefore, 1cm = 1 ml.

Previously, a liter was defined to be 1.000028 cubic decimeter. For all practical purposes, then, a cc (correctly, cm³) has always equaled a milliliter.

A CC (cubic Centimeter), is 10 ml (ten Milli-Liters)...
