Use unit multipliers to convert 10 cubic meters to cubic inches
1 m = 3.281 ft
12 in = 1 ft
Therefore: 3.281ft%2F1m=1 and 12in%2F1ft=1.
10m%5E3%2A%28%283.281ft%29%5E3%2F%281m%5E3%29%29%2A%28%2812in%29%5E3%2F%281ft%29%5E3%29
10m%5E3%2835.31983704ft%5E3%2Fm%5E3%29%2A%281728in%5E3%2Fft%5E3%29

10%2A%2835.31983704%29%2A%281728%29in%5E3
610326.7841in%5E3
This can vary depending on the decimal value of your unit multiplier and where you round it off, I also got 610237.4in^3 from my TI-83 Silver edition unit conversion application.
Note, if you are to limit yourself to significant figures you get 600000in^3 in both cases.
Happy Calculating!!!
