Question

A motorcycle engine is 600 cubic centimeters (600 cc). If 1 cm3 equals 1 mL of volume, how many liters are in the motorcycle engine? Give your answer to the correct number of significant figures.

Answer 1

There are 0.6 L in motorcycle engine.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

A motorcycle engine is 600 cubic centimeters (600 cc).

If 1 cm³ equals 1 mL of volume, this can be written as:

1 cm³ = 1 mL

Now convert the above capacity of engine in mL.

Multiply both sides by 600:

1×600 cm³ = 1×600 mL

600 cm³ = 600 mL

That means 600 cubic centimeters is equal to 600 mL.

Now convert 600 mL to liters.

As we know 1000 mL = 1 L and 1 mL = 0.001 L

Use the above fact to convert 600 mL to liters

Multiply both sides by 600.

1×600 mL = 0.001×600 L

600 mL = 0.6 L

Hence, there are 0.6 L in motorcycle engine.

Answer 2

motorcycle engine capacity = 0.6 L

Explanation:

given,

motorcycle engine capacity = 600 cm³

and we know that 1 cm³ = 1 m L

so ,

motorcycle engine capacity = 600 m L

1 m L = 10⁻³ L

motorcycle engine capacity = 0.6 L

motorcycle capacity is given in one significant figure and 0.6 L is also in 1 significant figure.
