Question

Arrange the following volumes in descending order.

• A. 6 L
• B. 6308 mL
• C. 6300 cu. cm
• D. 6 L 38 mL
• E. 6303 cu. cm

Answer 1

Let's look at the options and convert them into a common unit. In this case, we will convert all units to mL.

We know, 1 L = 1000 mL and 1 cu. cm = 1 mL.

Option 1: 6 L = 6 $\times$ 1000 = 6000 mL

Option 2: 6308 mL

Option 3: 6300 cu. cm = 6300 mL

Option 4: 6 L 38 mL = 6 $\times$ 1000 + 38 mL= 6038 mL

Option 5: 6303 cu. cm = 6303 mL

So the descending order of volumes would be:
6308 mL > 6303 mL > 6300 mL > 6038 mL > 6000 mL
or
6308 mL > 6303 cu. cm > 6300 cu. cm > 6 L 38 mL > 6 L
