« Litre (l) is equal to 1000 ml, so it is used to measure the capacity of larger

containers.
1000 ml = 1 l

1000 l = 1 kl

Representation of these units with their values is shown in the following chart :

Standard
Higher units Lower units
units

Unit kl hl dal l dl cl ml

1 1 1
Value 1000 l 100 l 10 l 1 l l l l
10 100 1000

From the above given chart, we get :

1
1 kl = 1000 l 1 dl = l = 0.1 l
10

1
1 hl = 100 l 1 cl = l = 0.01 l
100

1
1 dal = 10 l 1 ml = l = 0.001 l
1000

Converting Metric Units of Length

« While converting from a larger unit to a smaller unit, we multiply.

« While converting from a smaller unit to a larger unit, we divide.

× 1000 × 100 × 10

km m cm mm

÷ 1000 ÷ 100 ÷ 10
