I’ve learned about them in school, but I’ve never heard anyone say something is 8 decameters long or anything like that. I’m an American.

in school in austria we teach dezimeter (tenth of a meter)
decimeter is a good measure because one cubic decimeter (1 dm³) equals one liter ( 1L )
*of water
No, you’re thinking of a kilogram. A liter and 1dm³ are identical.
Haha obviously, too early in the morning ;)
1dm^3
Ah jeez, thank you. Fixed it.
1 cubic decimeter = 1 liter. Period.
No, volume dimensions are independent of what a specific volume is filled with.
1 liter of water is 1 cubic decimeter of water just as 1 liter of air is 1 cubic decimeter of air.
I’m a chemistry teacher so I regularly use dm³
Isn’t that just a liter?
Decimeter is used in older American botany books for some reason. Only place I’ve ever seen it
