How do you convert 0.45 litres to cubic centimetres?

To convert 0.45 litres to cubic centimetres, multiply by 1000 to get 450 cubic centimetres.

In more detail, the relationship between litres and cubic centimetres is based on the metric system, where 1 litre is defined as 1000 cubic centimetres (cm³). This is because a litre is a unit of volume that is equivalent to a cube with each side measuring 10 centimetres. Therefore, to convert from litres to cubic centimetres, you simply multiply the number of litres by 1000.

For example, if you have 0.45 litres and you want to convert it to cubic centimetres, you perform the following calculation:
\[ 0.45 \, \text{litres} \times 1000 \, \text{cm}^3/\text{litre} = 450 \, \text{cm}^3 \]

This means that 0.45 litres is equal to 450 cubic centimetres. This conversion is useful in many practical situations, such as when measuring liquids in science experiments or cooking, where smaller units like cubic centimetres might be more convenient to use. Remembering that 1 litre equals 1000 cubic centimetres can help you quickly and easily convert between these units.
