Question

A classroom has a volume of 288m3 .

What is its volume in km3

Answer 1

Answer : The volume in
`km^3` is,
`2.88* 10^(-7)km^3`

Explanation :

The conversion used form
`m^3` to
`km^3` is:

`1m^3=10^(-9)km^3`

As we are given that the volume
`288m^3`. Now we have to determine the volume in
`km^3`.

As,
`1m^3=10^(-9)km^3`

So,
`288m^3=(288m^3)/(1m^3)* 10^(-9)km^3=2.88* 10^(-7)km^3`

Therefore, the volume in
`km^3` is,
`2.88* 10^(-7)km^3`

Answer 2

The conversion factor between the unit in meter and that of kilometer is that, 1 kilometer = 1000m
For the given above,
(288 m³) x (1 km / 1000 m)³ = 2.88 x 10^-7
Thus, 288 m³ is also equal to 2.88 x 10^-7 km³.
