What is the smallest unit of volume?
Answer: A smaller unit of volume that is commonly used is the milliliter (mL—note the capital L which is a standard practice). A milliliter is the volume of a cube that measures 1 cm on each side. Therefore, a milliliter is equal to a cubic centimeter (cm3).
What are most common units of volume?
