The answer: "1800" .
_________________________________________________________
The volume is: " 1800 mm³ " .
_________________________________________________________
Step-by-step explanation: Volume = L * w * h = length * width* height ;

We plug in the given values; all of which are in units of "m" (meters);

Volume = (3 m) (1.5 m) (0.4 m) = 1.8 m³ .
________________________________________________________
The question asks for the value, "the volume", in units of: " mm³ " ;
that is, units of: "cubic millimeters" ;
________________________________________________________
So; we convert our obtained volume; "1.8 m³ " ; to units of "mm³ ".
________________________________________________________
Note the exact conversion: 1000 mm³ = 1 m³ ;

So; V = "1.8 m³ = {1.8 m³ * (1000 mm³/1 m³) } = (1.8 m³ * 1000) mm³ ;

V = 1800 mm³ .
