Solution Steps

00:00 Find the volume of 3 boxes in cubic cm

00:03 Multiply the volume of one box by 3 to find the volume of 3 boxes

00:11 This is the volume of 3 boxes in cubic meters, now let's convert to cubic cm

00:18 To convert to cubic cm, multiply by a million

00:26 Let's calculate

00:33 And this is the solution to the question

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 $\mathbf{390,000,000 \, cm^3}$ .
