Simply divide 1 m (meter)
in exactly 10 parts,
each of which measures
10
cm (centimeters).
Then make a cube container that is
10
cm x 10 cm x 10 cm
(1000
cmณ)
that we can fill with water.

  And like magic, when you fill this cube container with water, it has the volume of exactly
1 L (liter).

ALL SIMPLY RELATED

   But then, when you place this cube filled with water on the scale
it has a
mass of exactly
1 kg (kilogram).
                                   

  
Both spellings, meter and metre, as well as liter
and litre
are acceptable.
It is just a lot easier
to use
symbols

Just remember that for everyday purposes
ENJOY THE CLOSE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
Length of 1 m (meter), Volume of 1 L (liter)
and Mass of 1 kg (kilogram).
