so, how many inches in 6cm?

im not sure

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

keep in mind that there are 2.54 cm in 1 inch

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

if there is 1inch in 2.54cm, in 6cm there will be 6/2.54 cm

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

to get part A, that is, the volume, just convert all units to THE SAME unit, that is all to inches, so convert the 6cm to inches then keep in mind that Volume = Length x Width x Height

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

to get part B how many \(\bf in^3\) were poured ? well she poured 14 cups, and we know that 1 cup is \(\bf 14.44 in^3\) so, 14 times that much
