According to the label on a bottle of salad dressing, the volume of the contents is 0.473 liter (L). Using only the conversions 1 L = 1000 cm3 and 1 in. = 2.54 cm, express this volume in cubic inches.

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Start by converting the volume from liters to cubic centimeters using the conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 cm³. Multiply the given volume in liters by this factor to find the volume in cubic centimeters.
Next, convert the volume from cubic centimeters to cubic inches. To do this, first convert centimeters to inches using the conversion factor: 1 in = 2.54 cm.
Since the conversion involves cubic measurements, you need to cube the conversion factor for linear dimensions. Therefore, cube the conversion factor: (1 in / 2.54 cm)³.
Multiply the volume in cubic centimeters by the cubed conversion factor to obtain the volume in cubic inches.
Ensure that all units are correctly converted and check your calculations for accuracy. The final expression will give you the volume in cubic inches.
