Answer:

34.0 m^3 x (100 cm/1 m)^3 = 34.0 m^3 x (1,000,000 cm^3 / 1 m^3)= 34,000,000 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

You shoul know first the conversion factor 100 cm = 1 m. You can see that this conversion factor is to the power 3, making the power in the units too, but also in the numbers. So, you can be able to eliminate the m^3 above and below, and finally your result is going to be in cm^3.

PS: (,) is for thousands and (.) for decimals.
