Question

A fluid ounce is about 30 mL. What is the volume of a 12 fl-oz can of soda pop in cubic meters?

a) 0.0003549 m³
b) 0.003549 m³
c) 0.03549 m³
d) 0.3549 m³

Answer 1

To find the volume of a 12 fl-oz can of soda pop in cubic meters, convert the fluid ounces to milliliters and then to cubic meters. The volume is approximately 0.36 m³.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of a 12 fluid-ounce (fl-oz) can of soda pop in cubic meters, we need to convert the fluid ounces to milliliters and then to cubic meters.

Given that 1 fluid ounce is about 30 mL, we can calculate the volume of the can as follows:

1. Convert the 12 fluid ounces to milliliters: 12 fl-oz * 30 mL/fl-oz = 360 mL
2. Convert the milliliters to cubic meters: 360 mL * (0.001 m³ / 1 mL) = 0.36 m³

Therefore, the volume of a 12 fl-oz can of soda pop is approximately 0.36 m³.
