Pecks [UK] to litres formula

A litre is a metric unit of volume. It is equal to 1000 cubic centimeters (cc) or 1 cubic decimeter (dm3). One litre is also equal to 0.001 cubic meters (m3).In practical terms, a litre is roughly equal to the volume of one kilogram of water, or the volume of a cube with each side 10 centimeters (or 0.1 meters) long. It is commonly used to measure the volume of liquids and gases and is often abbreviated as "L" or "l".

For instance, a typical bottle of soda or water that you might buy in a store might contain 500 millilitres (ml) or 0.5 litres of liquid. A car's gas tank may hold 50 litres, and a large container of cooking oil may hold 5 litres.
