About a million?

$1*mL$ $=$ $1*cm^3$ , are we agreed on this?

But $1*cm^3$ $=$ $(1xx10^-2*m)^3$ , because the $"centi prefix"$ $-=$ $10^-2$ .

And thus $(1xx10^-2*m)^3$ $=$ $1xx10^-2*mxx1xx10^-2*mxx1xx10^-2*m=$

$1xx10^-6*m^3$

And so finally, $(1*mL)/(1*m^3)=(1xx10^-6*m^3)/(1*m^3)=10^-6$ .

Alternatively (finally again) $(1*m^3)/(1*mL)=(1*m^3)/(1xx10^-6*m^3)=10^(+6)$ .

Thus there are $10^6$ , $"one million"$ , $mL$ in a $"cubic meter"$ .

We use the same methodology to show that there are $1000*L$ in a $"cubic meter"$ . A $m^3$ is a VERY large volume.
