To convert units of volume (milliliters in this case), into units of capacity (cubic meters in this case), you can memorize the equivalences between the two systems.
For example, knowing that 1 ml = 1 cm³, you can now convert centimeters to cubic meters.
We will have to divide by 1000, because we make three “jumps” to larger measures (10x10x10 = 1000). As the units are at power 3, you will have to divide by 1000 to get to the power of 3. In this case, 1cm³ ÷ 1000³ = 0,000000001 m³.
I hope that this answers your question! Don’t hesitate to ask other questions!
