Capitolo 2, Problema 59d

Use metric conversion factors to solve each of the following problems:
d. A balloon has a volume of 3500 cm3. What is the volume in liters?

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the relationship between cubic centimeters (cm³) and liters (L). The conversion factor is 1 cm³ = 0.001 L.
Write the given value: 3500 cm³.
Set up the conversion by multiplying the given value by the conversion factor: 3500 cm³ × (0.001 L / 1 cm³).
Cancel out the cm³ units, leaving the result in liters (L).
Perform the multiplication to find the volume in liters (L).

Volume Conversion

Volume conversion involves changing a measurement from one unit of volume to another, such as from cubic centimeters (cm³) to liters (L). In the metric system, 1 liter is equivalent to 1000 cubic centimeters, making it crucial to apply this conversion factor correctly to solve volume-related problems.
