3 mL is equal to: 3 cm 2 3 L 3 cm 3

The correct answer is 3 cm ³ (cubic centimeters)

Explanation:

The concepts of volume and capacity are closely related. Let us not forget that Volume is the space that a body occupies and that Capacity is the empty space of one thing that is sufficient to contain another.

Therefore, between both terms there is an equivalence that is based on the fact that a container of a cubic decimeter has the capacity to contain a liter.

1 dm³ = 1 l

The equivalence between these measures is not correlative because a unit of volume is 1,000 times greater than the immediate lower, while a unit of capacity is 10 times greater than the immediate lower. Thus,

1 cm³ = 1 ml
