Hello Bella,
ReplyDeleteYour blogpost on volume and capacity is very informative. Your understanding of estimation is similar to mine! Can you convert volume? How?
Kia Ora Ariana,
DeleteThank you for the positive feedback. You can convert litres into centimeters cubed. You can convert them by knowing 1 litre is equivalent to 1000 cubic centimeters. What is the difference between milliliters and litres?
Hi Bella,
DeleteThank you for replying, and asking an interesting question. Millilitres are similar to cubic centimeters, 1 litre is equivalent to 1000 milliliters. The difference between millimeters and centimeters is a millimeter is ten times smaller than centimeters. What are cubic centimeters?
Hello Ariana,
DeleteThank you for giving an answer to my question. Cubic centimeters are units of volume, and they basically represent millimeters. Cubic centimeters can be calculated by multiplying the length, width and height all in centimeters. Thank you for comment threading with me, I have learnt a lot about the different units of measurement.
