Question

Grains of sand are very small, there being about 3000 grains in one cubic centimeter (cm3) of sand. A cm3 is a small cube measuring one cm on each side and is about the size of your little finger from the fingernail onward. Given that there are one million cubic centimeters (cm3) in one cubic meter (m3), how many grains are there in 1 m3of sand

Answer 1

Answer:

The value is $x = 3.000 * 10^9 \ grains$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

      $1m^3 = 10^6 cm^3$

And that

     $3000 \ grains \ of \ sand \ is \ in \ 1cm^3$

So the number of sand grain that is in $1m^3$ is mathematically evaluated as

      $x = 3000 * 10^6 \ grains$

=>  $x = 3.000 * 10^9 \ grains$
