This math topic focuses on practicing conversion of metric volume units with decimals from larger to smaller units. The conversions involve common metric volume units such as liters, deciliters, centiliters, milliliters, decaliters, hectoliters, and kiloliters. Each problem presents a different initial volume in one unit and asks for the equivalent amount in a smaller unit, with multiple-choice answers provided. This is part of a broader introduction to metric unit conversions focusing on changing between large and small units using the decimal system.
