Solution Steps

00:09 Let's find the volume of three boxes in cubic centimeters.

00:14 First, multiply the volume of one box by three, to get the volume of all three boxes.

00:20 Now, since this volume is in cubic meters, let's convert it to cubic centimeters.

00:27 To make this conversion, multiply the result by one million.

00:35 Alright, let's do the calculation together.

00:42 And there you have it! That's the solution to our problem.

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

Let's go through each step:

Step 1: The volume of one cuboid is given as $130 \, m^3$ . Since we need the volume of 3 such cuboids, we multiply:

$3 \times 130 \, m^3 = 390 \, m^3$

Step 2: To convert cubic meters to cubic centimeters, we use the conversion factor: $1 \, m^3 = 1,000,000 \, cm^3$ . Therefore,

$390 \, m^3 = 390 \times 1,000,000 \, cm^3 = 390,000,000 \, cm^3$ .

Therefore, the volume of 3 cuboids in cubic centimeters is $\mathbf{390,000,000 \, cm^3}$ .
