Question

Convert 1 in^3 into cm^3 using the measurement conversion 1 inch= 2.54 cm. Round yo two decimals.

Answer 1

A cubic inch is the same an inch to the third power.

$in^3=in\times in\times in$

If we use our measurement conversion

$1in=2.54\operatorname{cm}$

In our previous equation, we have

$in\times in\times in=2.54\operatorname{cm}\times2.54\operatorname{cm}\times2.54\operatorname{cm}$

Solving this product, we have

$2.54\operatorname{cm}\times2.54\operatorname{cm}\times2.54\operatorname{cm}=16.387064cm^3$

Then, this is our answer.

$1in^3=16.387064cm^3$
