Question

Engine size is measured by how much air the cylinders displace. A 1996 Pontiac V8 has an engine size of 316.6 cubic inches. What is the size of this engine in cubic meters?

Answer 1

0.0052m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

inches---meters---m^3

316.6 in X 0.0254m^3/1 inch = 0.005188144

0.0052 m^3

Answer 2

The size of this engine in cubic meters is
`0.0052 m^(3)`.

Step-by-step explanation:

As it is stated that engine size can be measured depending upon the amount of air the cylinders displace, it is also stated that the engine of model Pontiac V8 has a size of 316.6 cubic inches. The problem is to convert the size of engine in cubic meters. We know that 1 inch = 0.0254 m.

Then
`1 inch^(3)=(0.0254)^(3) m^(3)`

As here the size of engine is 316.6 cubic inches, then in metres it will be

`316.6 \text { inches }^(3)=316.6 *(0.0254)^(3) \mathrm{m}^(3)=0.0052 \mathrm{m}^(3)`

Thus, the size of the engine in cubic meters will be
`0.0052 m^(3)`.
