Answer 2

The number of cubic units would increase, because centimeters are smaller than meters. It's the same thing as before, but in reverse.

Answer 3

*decrease my mistake

Answer 4

so would it be b?

Answer 5

or c?

Answer 6

Well,

512 cm^{3}\ converted\ to\ m^{3} = 5.12m^{3}

The actual volume of the cube does not increase, but the number of cubic units decreases. In fact, the number of cubic units decreases by a factor of 100, as the centimeter-to-meter relationship is 100-to-1.

Answer 7

It would be D. The volume doesn't change just because your unit of measurement does.
