Answer 6

measuring in hectoliters will give numbers reasonably close to 1. People like small numbers near one.

Answer 7

liters.. a normal bathtub holds about 35 to 40 liters....

Answer 8

Of course, nobody uses hectoliters. Around here they don't use liters either.

Answer 9

what do they use around there.. gallons??

Answer 10

we use the term "tub" As in I need a tub of water.

Answer 11

well, the average bath tub holds about 200 liters...and a hectoliter is 100 liters. so it depends, would you rather say 2 hectoliters or 200 liters? kiloliters would be silly...

Answer 12

as professor walter lewin says... "we need to use 'civilised' units"... tch-tch.. (just kidding) :O

Answer 13
