What order do i arrange the units so they can be from largest to smallest?
m superscript 3, mL, cL, UL, L, dL.

All of the above are by a factor of 10 from top to bottom (becoming smaller); 1 kilogram = 1000 grams.

All of the below are by a factor of 1000 from top to bottom (becoming smaller); i.e., 1 mg = 1000 ug.
micro

Below are factors of 1000.
For the meter3, this is a volume. It may help to know that 1 cc = 1 mL.
To arrange the units from largest to smallest, you can follow these steps:
1. Start with the largest unit, which in this case is meter cubed (m^3).
2. Moving down in size, the next unit would be liter (L). Note that 1 L is equivalent to 1000 milliliters (mL).
3. Next, arrange the units within the liter. The order is kiloliter (kL), hectoliter (hL), decaliter (daL), liter (L), deciliter (dL), centiliter (cL), and milliliter (mL).
4. Since mL is included in the given units, we can skip over it for now and move to centiliter (cL).
5. Within the centiliter, we have centiliter (cL), deciliter (dL), and milliliter (mL). So, centiliter comes before milliliter.
6. Next, move to deciliter (dL) and within it, the order is deciliter (dL) and milliliter (mL).
7. Finally, place milliliter (mL) at the end since it is the smallest unit.
So, the correct order from largest to smallest is: meter cubed (m^3), liter (L), kiloliter (kL), hectoliter (hL), decaliter (daL), deciliter (dL), centiliter (cL), milliliter (mL).
