Question

If you took the amount of oil consumed in 2 months in 2013 worldwide, you could make a cube of oil that measures 103 meters on each side. How many cubic meters of oil is this? Do you think this would be enough to fill a pond, a lake, or an ocean?

Answer 1

Answer:

The cube contains 1,092,727 cubic meters of oil, which could fill almost all the world's oceans, since they have approximately 1.3 million cubic meters of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since if you took the amount of oil consumed in 2 months in 2013 worldwide, you could make a cube of oil that measures 103 meters on each side, to determine how many cubic meters of oil is this and to determine if this would be enough to fill a pond, a lake, or an ocean, the following calculations must be performed, knowing that the volume of a cube is equal to the length of one of its sides cubed:

103 ^ 3 = X

103 x 103 x 103 = X

10,609 x 103 = X

1,092,727 = X

Therefore, the cube contains 1,092,727 cubic meters of oil, which could fill almost all the world's oceans, since they have approximately 1.3 million cubic meters of water.
