english question

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

First let's just summarize all the info we are given: One ice cream cone uses 1 scoop of sprinkles. In one day, 65 cones are sold. Silly Scoops is open every day of the month. A month has 30 days. A scoop has 88 sprinkles. Each sprinkle is a cylinder with 25 mm length and 2 mm radius. The density of a sprinkle is 2.2 g/ml

The conversion factor of cm to mm is 10 mm/1 cm or 1 cm/10 mm

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

When you deal with a cubic unit for volume, then the conversion has to be cubed. (10 mm)^3/(1 cm)^2 = (1000 mm^3)/(1 cm ^3)

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Since the dimensions of each sprinkle are given in mm, when you calculate the volume of a sprinkle, you are calculating in mm^3. The density of the sprinkle is given in g/ml. 1 ml = cm^3. So the density of the sprinkles is in g/cm^3, but we calculated the volume in mm^3, so we need to convert mm^3 to cm^3 to be able to use the given density.

yes
