Instructions

    • 1

      Measure the length, width and height of the volume in centimeters. For example, suppose the length is 20 cm, the width is 5 cm and the height is 20 cm.

    • 2

      Multiply the measurements together to calculate the volume in cubic centimeters. For this example, 20 multiplied by 5 multiplied by 20 is 2,000 cc.

    • 3

      Divide the amount in cubic centimeters by 1,000 to convert it into liters. For this example, 2,000 divided by 1,000 equals 2. 2,000 cc converts to 2 liters.

Tips & Warnings

  • A cubic centimeter measures the same amount of volume as a milliliter.
