Which measurement is equivalent to 3146 cm3? A. 3.146 L B. 31.46 L C. 314.6 L D. 3146 L

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Well, we should first convert it to milliliters. How many milliliters are in 3146 cubic centimeters?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

I gave you the conversion on your first question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3146

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Good. Do you know how many milliliters are in a liter?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1000

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Good. Can you set it up as a math problem then? We're trying to cancel out the millimeters so we will be left with liters.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not sure how to do that

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Check this out, and don't forget it~ \[(3146 mL)(\frac{1 L}{1000 mL}) = x L\]

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

You see how when we multiply, the mL's will cancel, so are left with how much liters we have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2146?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Another way to look at this is that we know 1000 mL are in a liter. Since we have 3146 mL, we can divide by 1000 to get the amount of liters.

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

No, you're not subtracting by 1000. You're dividing by 1000.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3.146

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

There ya go.
