We are starting off woth the equation x cubic decimeters = 1 cubic meter

Using the metric system, we can determine that there are ten decimeters in every meter (cubic or other).

A pun often used to remember the metric system is, "King Henry died by drinking chocolate milk."

Each letter in that silly sentence form the acronym of: KHDBDCM

This stands for kilo, hecto, deca, BASE (original), deci, centi, milli

Meter would be considered a base.

The letters/prefixes to the LEFT of the base grow larger than 0 (by tens) and the the letters/prefixes to the RIGHT of the base decrease by tens, going in the equal and opposite direction.

By knowing this we could conclude that 1 decimeter = 0.1 meter

A cubic decimeter is a cube with the side 1 decimeter.

A cube with the side 1 meter( = 10 decimeters) is one cubic meter.

The volume in cubic decimeters is therefore 10x10x10 = 1000 cubic decimeters.
