To answer this you need to know how many centimeters are in 1 meter.
There are 100 centimeters in 1 meter.
The fact that it is cubic does not make a difference in this case.
We need to figure out what times 100 will give us 1 meter or the answer 1.
a. 1% is equal to .01 so .01 X 100 = 1
b. 0.1% is equal to .001 so .001 X 100 = .1
c. 0.01% is equal to .0001 so .0001 X 100 = .01
d. 0.001% is equal to .00001 so .00001 X 100 = .001
e. 0.0001% is equal to .000001 so .000001 X 100 = .0001
a. gives us the answer 1
