Question

How many cm3 are contained in 3.77*10^4 mm^3?

Answer 1

Linear, surface and volume unit measure scale with an added power of ten for each dimension you add:

• From mm to cm: scale 10
• From mm^2 to cm^2: scale 100
• From mm^3 to cm^3: scale 1000

So, there are 1000 mm^3 in one cm^3, and to convert the required measure you have to divide by 1000:

$3.77 \times 10^4 \text{mm}^3 = \dfrac{3.77 \times 10^4}{1000}\text{ cm}^3 = 3.77 \times 10\text{ cm}^3 = 37.7 \text{ cm}^3$
