Change all the dimensions to cm and then multiply
the dimensions to get the number of cc's.

What volume (in cc) is occupied by a block of wood of dimensions 25.0m X 10.0cm X 300m? All edges are 90 degrees to one another.

Step 1. Volume = (25 m) x (10 cm) x (300 m).

Step 2. Units are not the same and need to convert to cm where 1 m = 100 cm. So

25+m+=+%2825+m%29%28100+cm%2F1+m%29

25+m+=+2500+cm


300+m+=+%28300+m%29%28100+cm%2F1+m%29


300+m+=+30000+cm

Step 3. Volume = (25 m) x (10 cm) x (300 m) = (2500 cm) x (10 cm) x (30000)

Volume+=+%282500%29%2810%29%2830000%29+cm%5E3

Volume+=+750000000+cm%5E3 or Volume+=+7.5%2A%2810%5E8%29+cm%5E3

I hope the above steps were helpful.

Good luck in your studies!
