Engine size is measured by how much air the cylinders displace. A 1996 Pontiac V8 has an engine size of 316.6 cubic inches. What is the size of this engine in cubic meters?

Respuesta :

The size of this engine in cubic meters is [tex]0.0052 m^{3}[/tex].

Explanation:

As it is stated that engine size can be measured depending upon the amount of air the cylinders displace, it is also stated that the engine of model Pontiac V8 has a size of 316.6 cubic inches. The problem is to convert the size of engine in cubic meters. We know that 1 inch = 0.0254 m.

Then [tex]1 inch^{3}=(0.0254)^{3} m^{3}[/tex]

As here the size of engine is 316.6 cubic inches, then in metres it will be

    [tex]316.6 \text { inches }^{3}=316.6 \times(0.0254)^{3} \mathrm{m}^{3}=0.0052 \mathrm{m}^{3}[/tex]

Thus, the size of the engine in cubic meters will be [tex]0.0052 m^{3}[/tex].

Answer:

0.0052m^3

Explanation:

inches---meters---m^3

316.6 in X 0.0254m^3/1 inch = 0.005188144

0.0052 m^3
