I think 2.3×108 cm3
cause we will turn (cm3 -dm3-mm3)to m3 so 2.3×108 cm3 will be the big number

The largest volume is b) 2.3 × 10⁸ cm³.

Convert each measurement to the same units (say, cubic metres).

a) 2.3 × 10¹ m³ = 2.3 × 10¹ m³

b) 2.3 x 10⁸ cm³ × (1 m/100 cm)³ = 2.3 × 10² m³

c) 2.0 x 10⁴ dm³ × (1 m/10 dm)³ = 2.0 × 10¹ m³

d) 2.0 x 10⁸ mm³ × (1 m/1000 mm)³ = 2.0 × 10⁻¹ m³

The volume of 2.3 × 10² m³ is the largest volume.
