What are Milliliter and Deciliter

Definition of Milliliter

A milliliter, abbreviated as mL, is a metric unit of volume equal to one-thousandth of a liter. It is commonly used in cooking, chemical analysis, and labeling of fluids within containers. The volume of a milliliter is equivalent to one cubic centimeter (1 cm^3) or about 0.061 cubic inches.

Definition of Deciliter

A deciliter, symbolized as dL, is a metric unit of volume that is equal to one-tenth of a liter. This unit is often utilized in countries that adopt the metric system for measuring beverages, food products, and other liquid quantities. One deciliter represents 100 milliliters or approximately 3.4 fluid ounces.
