Colorado Air Monitoring Specialist Practice Test

How many cubic centimeters are in one liter?

There are 100 cc per 1 Liter There are 10,000 cc per 1 Liter There are 1,000 cc per 1 Liter There are 1 cc per 1 Liter

Correct Answer:

There are 1,000 cc per 1 Liter

Explanation:

Understanding how metric volumes relate: a liter is defined as a cubic decimeter, which is a cube 10 centimeters on each side. The volume of that cube is 10 cm × 10 cm × 10 cm = 1000 cubic centimeters. Since 1 cubic centimeter equals 1 milliliter, 1 liter also equals 1000 milliliters, or 1000 cubic centimeters. So there are 1000 cubic centimeters in one liter. The other options describe volumes that don’t match this relationship: 100 cc would be 0.1 liter, 10,000 cc would be 10 liters, and 1 cc per liter represents a much smaller amount.
