No, dm is a measure of length while cm3 is a measure of volume. However, 1 dm3 = 1000 cm3.

1 cm3 is simply a cube with sides 1 cm x 1 cm x 1 cm
1 dm3 is therefore a cube with sides 1 dm x 1 dm x 1 dm
hence 1 m3 is a cube with sides 1 m x 1 m x 1 m

100 cm = 10 dm = 1 m

1 dm = 1 cm

How many 1x1x1 cm cubes fit inside a 1x1x1 dm cube?

10 along one edge x 10 along the base x 10 up the sides.

1000

Likewise 1000 1x1x1 dm cubes fit a 1x1x1 m cube.
