Question

Use the following scenario to answer the question below:

Answer 1

The bigger engine is about 235.5 cubic centimeters larger than the smaller engine.

We need the answer in cubic centimeters. So let's convert 350 cubic inches to cubic centimeters. We will do it unit conversion way (the long way).

We will write cubic inches as three inches side-by-side

350 in^3

What is the ratio of the centimeter?

This way, we can multiply this by the ratio of centimeters to inches [2.54 cm = 1 inch], so that the units cancel and we have cubic centimeters (what we desire).

350 in^3*3.54cm/1in*3.54cm/1in*3.54cm/1in

So, we can cancel the three inches top and bottom thus we have the answer in centimeters cubed. And the value is

350 in^3*3.54cm/1in*3.54cm/1in*3.54cm/1in.

350 in^3*3.54cm/1in*3.54cm/1in*3.54cm/1in=5735.47.

So 350 cubic inches is approximately 5735.5 cubic centimeters (rounded to 1 decimal place).

This is larger than a 5500 cubic centimeters engine.

5735.5-5500=235.5cubic centimeters.

The bigger engine is about 235.5 cubic centimeters larger than the smaller engine.
