Volume and capacity of small containers
are mostly expressed in liters, especially if
the containers are used to store liquids.
When you measure the dimensions of the
containers and solve for their volume, the unit of
measure that you will get will be in cubic
centimeters.
This is because the centimeter is the most
appropriate unit of measure to use for small objects.
This is the reason that knowing how to convert cubic
centimeters to liters and cubic meters and vice versa
is a very important skill.
