    It’s a decimal system, so t’s “all in 10th” deci=1/10. Meter > decimetre (dm) > centimetre (cm). So I think what you’re looking for is decimetre (dm) = tenth of a meter 😊

    And centi denoting a factor of one hundredth and so on 🙃

      Which is the „base“ for the litre: 1 cubic decimetre.

      And originally it was defined as 1 kg water (under standard conditions), so 1000 L == 1 cubic meter == 1000 kg
