There are many units for volume.

In the metric system, there are two main SI units for volume:

the liter (L) and the cubic meter (m3).

One cubic meter = 1000 liters

One liter = 1000 cubic centimeters

one cubic centimeter = 1 mL = 1000 cubic millimeters.

In the US Customary system and the Imperial system, there are many units for volume,

and in fact, the US system has two parallel systems of units of volume for "dry volume" and "wet volume".

Some of the most popular "wet volume" units are

1 cubic yard = about 200 gallons

1 gallon = 4 quarts

1 quart = 2 pints

1 pint = 2 cups

1 cup = 20 fluid ounces

Some of the most popular "dry volume" units are

1 bushel = about 8 gallons

about 1 fluid ounce = 2 Tablespoons (most countries)

about 1 fluid ounce = 1.5 Tablespoons (Australian)

1 Tablespoon (most countries) = 3 teaspoons = about 1 cubic inch

1 Tablespoon (Australian) = 4 teaspoons

1 teaspoon = about 5 mL

volume is a three dimensional measurement, such as height x width x depth so the unit used is normally a cubic measurement such as cubic centimeters, cubic feet etc.

What two properties are related to the measurement of density?

Two properties related to the measurement of density are mass and volume. Density is calculated by dividing an object's mass by its volume, giving a measure of how much mass is contained within a specific volume.


What is important about the units when measuring volume from measurements of LxWxH?

The units used to measure length, width, and height should be the same to calculate volume in cubic units. For example, if length, width, and height are measured in meters, then the volume will be in cubic meters. It is crucial to maintain consistency in units to ensure accurate volume calculations.


How many liters are in a mile?

Liters and miles are two different units of measurement for volume and distance, respectively. There is no direct conversion between the two, so it is not possible to say how many liters are in a mile.


Can a quantity have units but still be dimension less give example?

Yes, a quantity can have units but still be dimensionless if the units cancel out when they are raised to the power of 0. For example, specific volume (volume per mass) has units of m^3/kg, but when you divide volume by mass, the units cancel out and it becomes dimensionless.


The units of density are a ratio of what two quantities?

Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. It is a ratio of mass to volume, typically expressed in units such as grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm^3) or kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m^3).

Why is area measured in square units and volume is measured in cubic units?

An area is a measure comprising two dimensions of length (usually called length and breadth). The dimensional representation for area is, therefore, [L2]. Similarly, volume which comprises length x breadth x height, is [L3]. The shapes are measured in linear units and so these compound units are squared units (for area) and cubed units (for volume).An area is a measure comprising two dimensions of length (usually called length and breadth).
