Solution
The S.I unit is m3
The conversion factor between cm3 to m3 is
1,000,000 cm3 = 1 m3 or 106 cm3 = 1 m3 How do you get that? Start with the conversion from cm to m. 100 cm = 1 m A cubic meter is a cube 1 meter wide, 1 meter deep and 1 meter tall. 1 m3 = 1 m x 1 m x 1 m Substitute the conversion factor for meter to centimeter 1 m3 = (100 cm) x (100 cm) x (100 cm) 1 m3 = 1,000,000 cm3 = 106 cm3
Similarly mm3 to m3
1,000,000,000 mm3 = 1 m3 or 109 mm3 = 1 m3 How do you get that? Start with the conversion from mm to m. 1000 mm = 1 m A cubic meter is a cube 1 meter wide, 1 meter deep and 1 meter tall. 1 m3 = 1 m x 1 m x 1 m Substitute the conversion factor for meter to centimeter 1 m3 = (1000 mm) x (1000 mm) x (1000 mm) 1 m3 = 1,000,000,000 mm3 = 109 mm3
