Question

How many liters fit in a cube that is 30 centimeters on a side

Answer 1

Answer:

$27\ liters$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the volume of the cube

The volume of a cube is

$V=b^{3}$

where

b is the length side of the cube

we have

$b=30\ cm$

substitute

$V=(30)^{3}$

$V=27,000\ cm^{3}$

step 2

Convert cm^3 to liters

Remember that

$1\ liter=1,000\ cm^3$

$27,000\ cm^{3}=27,000/1,000=27\ liters$
