Question

The engine of a car has a displacement of 305 cubic inches. what is the displacement in cubic feet? round your answer to 2 decimal places.

Answer 1

0.18 cubic feet (in 2 decimal places)

Explanation:

The relationship between the unit of measurement inches and the unit of measurement feet may be expressed mathematically as

12 Inches = 1 feet

finding the cube of both sides i.e both sides to the power of 3,

1728 cubic inches = 1 cubic feet

therefore,

305 cubic inches

= 305/1728 cubic feet

= 0.1765 cubic feet

Answer 2

solution
1 inch = 2.54 centimeters
Therefore, to convert to cubic measurements
(1 in)³ = (2.54 cm)³
Thus;
1 in³ = 16.387 cm³
Hence 305 cubic inches will be equivalent to
305 × 16.387
= 4998.035 cm³
