A 2 L bottle of soda has a volume of 2000 cm³. What is the volume of the bottle in cubic meters?
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>0.002 cubic meters</h2>

Explanation:

To convert it into m³ we use the following conversion

<h3>1 {cm}^{3}  = 1 \times  {10}^{ - 6}  {m}^{3}</h3>

From the question the value is 2000 cm³

To convert it multiply the value by

1 × 10^- 6m³

That's

<h3>2000 \times 1 \times  {10}^{ - 6}  {m}^{3}</h3>

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.002 cubic meters</h3>

Hope this helps you
