You are deciding between two cars with different engines and want the bigger of the two. one engine displaces 350 cubic inches. the other displaces 5,500 cubic centimeters. by how many cubic centimeters is the bigger engine larger than the smaller one?

Answer 1

Should be 5,150 because 5,500 - 350 is = to 5,150 and by what you are asking this is the answer to your question.    

Answer 2

Answer: 235.4724 cubic centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 1 inch=2.54 centimeters

Then 1 cubic inches=$(2.54)^3$ cubic centimeters

⇒ 1 cubic inches=$(2.54)^3=16.3870$ cubic centimeters

⇒350 cubic inches=$350\times16.3870=5735.4724$ cubic centimeters

Since, the other displaces 5,500 cubic centimeters.

and 5735.4724< 5500

Difference =$5735.4724-5500=235.4724$

Hence, the bigger engine larger than the smaller one by 235.4724 cubic centimeters.
