Question

how many cubic centimeters are in one cubic meter? answer: a. 100 b. 1000 c. 10000 d. 100000 e. 1000000

Explanation:

Step1: Recall length - unit conversion

1 meter = 100 centimeters.

Step2: Calculate volume conversion

Volume of a cube is $V = s^3$ (where $s$ is side - length). For a cube of 1 cubic meter, side - length $s_1=1$ m. For a cube of cubic centimeters, side - length $s_2 = 1$ cm. Since 1 m = 100 cm, then 1 cubic meter=(1 m)×(1 m)×(1 m)=(100 cm)×(100 cm)×(100 cm)=1000000 cubic centimeters.

Answer:

E. 1000000
