A balloon has a volume of 4900 cm. What is the volume in liters?
Express your answer using three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
To convert cubic centimeters to liters, we divide by 1000 since 1 liter is equal to 1000 cubic centimeters.
So, the volume in liters is 4900 cm³ / 1000 = 4.90 liters.
Rounding to three significant figures, the volume in liters is 4.90 liters.
To convert the volume of the balloon from cm³ to liters, we need to divide by 1000.
1 liter = 1000 cm³
Dividing the volume of the balloon, 4900 cm³, by 1000, we get:
4900 cm³ ÷ 1000 = 4.9 liters
Therefore, the volume of the balloon in liters is 4.9 L (to three significant figures).
