Question 155843: Hey you doing I'm kinda stuck on this this problem I've tried it several times. I have to use three unit multipliers to convert 576 cubic inches to cubic feet.
I've can up with 192 one time and 48 I know when I can up with the anwser 48 I'm only using 1 unit multiplier and when I do 2 I get the same number back again 576 and if I use another I would only get 48 again. I use 1ft over 12in to try and solve is that correct. If anyone could with this problem I'd gradly appreciate it. thanks

Watch your units.
The conversion factor is
(in^3)(1 ft/12 in)^3=1 ft^3/1728 in^3
576%2A%281%2F12%29%5E3=576%2F1728=1%2F3
576 cu. inches = 1/3 cu. ft.
