We know that each millimeter contains 10⁻³ meters. Writing this as a ratio:
1 mm : 10⁻³ m
We require a conversion from m³ to mm³, so we must take the cube of the ratio we have made:
1 mm³ = (10⁻³)³ m³
Therefore, the conversion used will be:
(1 mm / 10⁻³ m)³
When we multiply by this conversion, we will get:
32 m³ = 32 x 10⁹ mm³
There was land on that surface before there was water
