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.
