GCSE Maths Practice: units-and-conversions

Question 5 of 10

This question teaches converting cubic centimetres to cubic metres. Remember that 1 m = 100 cm, so 1 m3 = 1003 cm3 = 1,000,000 cm3.

‹ ›

\( \begin{array}{l}\text{To convert cm³ to m³, you must...}\end{array} \)

Choose one option:

Remember: cube the linear factor for volume conversions.

When converting volumes, cube the linear conversion factor. For example, 1 m3 = 1003 cm3 = 1,000,000 cm3. To convert 500,000 cm3 to m3, divide 500,000 ÷ 1,000,000 = 0.5 m3. Always visualize the cube and ensure units are consistent. Practicing multiple examples helps solidify understanding and avoid mistakes in real-world problems like tank capacities, container volumes, or lab measurements.
