First find the volume in cubic centimeters:
V = (25)(14)(5.2)
V = 1820 cubic centimeters.
How many cubic centimeters in 1 cubic meter?
100 cm. = 1 meter Cube both sides.
%28100%29%5E3cu.cm. = %281%29%5E3cu.meters
1000000cu.cm. = 1cu.meter
Since there are 1,000,000 cubic centimeters in one cubic meter, divide 1820 cu.cm by 1,000,000 cu.cm/cu.meter.
V = 1820/1,000,000
V = 0.00182 cu. meters.
