Question

A flower vase has a volume of 1480 cubic centimeters (cm3). Use the fact

that 1 inch is equal to 2.54 cm to convert this volume to cubic inches (in).
Round your answer to the nearest tenth. Do not type the units in the space
below.

Answer 1

The volume of the flower vase is 90.3 cubic inches.

Explanation:

Dimensionally speaking, volume
`[V]` is equivalent to the product of length
`[L]`, length
`[L]` and length
`[L]`. That is:

`[V] =[L]* [L]* [L]`

In this case, an inch equals 2.54 centimeters and we proceed to convert the given volume of the flower vase as follows:

`V = 1480\,cm^(3)* (1\,in* 1\,in* 1\,in)/(2.54\,cm* 2.54\,cm* 2.54\,cm)`

`V = 90.3\,in^(3)`

The volume of the flower vase is 90.3 cubic inches.
