Question

I fan and give medals. :)
A prism has a volume of 16 cm3. What is the volume of the prism in cubic millimeters?

160,000 mm3
16,000 mm3
160 mm3
1,600 mm3

Answer 1

Is it a rectangular prism?

Answer 2

@Isaiah.Feynman could you help?

Answer 3

IDK it just says a prism

Answer 4

A centimeter has 100 meters
A millimeter has 1000 meters

This means that 16 cm3 is equal to 160 millimeters.

Answer 5

Is that right?

Answer 6

Yes it is XD I just confirmed it.

Does that make sense to you Beth?

Answer 7

No not really....

Answer 8

16cm3 = 160 mm3

Answer 9

\[16cm^3=16cm^3 * (\frac{10mm}{1cm})^3=16cm^3*\frac{1000mm^3}{1cm^3}=16000mm^3\]

Answer 10

That was wrong

Answer 11

16cm3 is 16 x 100 = 1600 meters3.

Do i have you so far?

Answer 12

1 cm3 = (1 cm) × (1 cm) × (1 cm)
= 10 mm × 10 mm × 10 mm
= 1,000 mm3

So, 16 cm3 = 16 cm3 × 1,000 mm3/cm3 = 16,000 mm3

Answer 13

That's what I put

Answer 14

To do this easier, just search google "cm to mm" and a calculator comes and and you enter the cm/ or/ mm. It depends on if you want to find out cm or mm.

If you have to do the hard way here is the equation:

\[mm = \frac{ cm }{ 0.10000 }\]

Answer 15

Ah because this is volume. If you are looking for volume then you need to move more exponents.

Answer 16

Thanks for the help though!:)
