<PRE><B>Question 573326</B>
There is a crayon box that is 7cm wide, 2dm long and 4cm deep. What is the volume in cubic cm?  Ok so I thought you would have to convert dm to cm.  So this is how I thought you would solve.
 700
x400
=280,000 
x200
=56,000,000 cubic centimeters.  Is this correct?
--------------
That&#39;s a big crayon box.
----
2 dm = 20 cm, the others are in cm
----
Volume = 7 cm * 20 cm * 4 cm = 560 cc
