Question

The engine of a car has a displacement of 307 cubic inches. What is the displacement in cubic feet? Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

Answer 1

5.03 L

Explanation:

we know that 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters

(1 inch)3 = (2.54 cm)3

1 in3 = 16.387 cm3

therefore

volume in cm^3 = (volume in in3) x (16.387 cm3/1 in3)

volume in cm3 = (307x 16.387) cm^3

volume in cm3 = 5030.809cm^3

let us convert to liters.

we know that

1 L = 1,000 cm3

volume in L = (volume in cm3) x (1 L/1,000 cm3)

volume in L = (5030.809/1,000) L

volume in L = 5.03 L

307 cubic inche engine displaces 5.03 L
