Volume of the blood sample in the sample tube = 3.0 cc

cc = cubic centimeter ; A unit to measure a volume

1 cubic centimeter is equal to 0.001 Liters of volume.

`1 cm^3=0.001 L`

So in 3.0 cubic centimeter there will be:

`3.0 cm^3=3.0* 0.001 L=0.0030 L`

The sample tube holds 3.0 cc which is equal to 0.0030 Liters.
