Answer:
1dm³
Question:
Mariela wants to know what is the volume of a 1 liter box of orange juice. To find out, start by measuring the length, width, and height of the box. What is the volume of the box in cubic decimeters?
Explanation:
To measure the volume using a ruler, you will get the box container of the orange juice and obtain its dimensions (length, width, height) with the ruler.
Let's assume the container has a rectangular base,
Volume of Orange box = length × width × height
A litre is a unit used for measuring the volume of a liquid or gas.
From the question,
The capacity or volume of the box of orange juice = 1 litre
Recall, 1 litre = 1000cm³
Now the volume of the box = 1000cm³
length × width × height = 1000cm³
To get the volume of the box in decimeters, let's convert cm³ to dm³
Recall that 10centimeters = 1decimeters
10cm = 1dm
1000cm³ = 1000× cm × cm × cm
= 10×10×10×cm × cm × cm
= 10cm ×10cm ×10cm
= 1dm ×1dm ×1dm
= 1dm³
Volume of the orange juice in dm³ =1dm³
