What are Liter and Deciliter

A liter, symbolized as 'L', is a unit of volume in the metric system. It is defined as the volume of a cube that measures 10 centimeters on each side, equivalent to 1,000 cubic centimeters or 0.001 cubic meters. Liters are commonly used worldwide for many everyday measurements, such as in the sale of beverages and fuel.

A deciliter, denoted as 'dL', is a metric unit of volume that is one-tenth of a liter. It represents the volume of a cube with sides measuring 1 decimeter, which is equivalent to 100 cubic centimeters. Deciliters are often used in culinary contexts and in countries that utilize the metric system for smaller volume measurements.
