Question

The volume of a marble is measured in milliliters. To convert it to cubic centimeters, one would need to multiply the volume by a conversion factor. What is the conversion factor?

a. 1 mL = 1 cm³

b. 1 mL = 0.001 cm³

c. 1 mL = 10 cm³

d. 1 mL = 100 cm³

Answer 1

The correct conversion factor to convert milliliters to cubic centimeters is 1 mL = 1 cm³, as they are equivalent volumes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the volume of a marble from milliliters to cubic centimeters, the conversion factor you would need is that 1 milliliter (mL) is equal to 1 cubic centimeter (cm³). This is because a milliliter is defined as the volume of a cube that has 1 cm sides, making it identical in volume to a cubic centimeter. The correct conversion factor is therefore 1 mL = 1 cm³, which corresponds to option (a).
