Question

The Spirit of America Goodyear blimp has a volume of 2.027×105 ft3. Convert this volume to an SI unit with the basic unit L.

Answer 1

5.73 × 10⁶ L

Solution:

As we know one cubic foot is equal to 28.3168 L. Using this relation we can convert 2.027 × 10⁵ ft³ into L as,

1 ft³ = 28.3168 L

So,

2.027 × 10⁵ ft³ = X L

Solving for X,

X = (2.027 × 10⁵ ft³ × 28.3168 L) ÷ 1 ft³

X = 5.73 × 10⁶ L
