I'm tring to get an answer to the questions that was asked on the previous page: the volume of Fort Peck Dam is 96,050 X 1,000 m3. Suppose the state of Montana decides to increase the volume of te dam. After the improvements, Fort Peck will hold 10 times as many cubic meters. How many cubic meters will Fort Peck hold after the improvements. What is does the m3 mean? Do I just multiply x 1000 and then by 10?

m^3 is the unit(of volume)cubic metres.

I am not quite sure what is meant by the presentation of the volume in the question. The volume of the Fort Peck Dam is 96,050,000 m^3.

If the volume increase x10 then the new volume will be

960,500,000 m^3

help i don t know what to do help help help idont know what to do help this math probelm is hard help help helllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllp

To determine the new volume of Fort Peck Dam after the improvements, you would indeed multiply the current volume by 10. However, before explaining further, let's clarify what "m3" means.

The symbol "m3" represents cubic meters, which is a unit of volume used to measure three-dimensional space. In this case, it is used to indicate the volume of Fort Peck Dam. One cubic meter is equivalent to a cube with sides measuring one meter in length. So, the volume of the dam is expressed as 96,050,000 cubic meters (96,050 multiplied by 1,000).

Now, to find the volume after the improvements, you multiply the current volume by 10 since the dam will hold 10 times as many cubic meters. Therefore, the new volume of Fort Peck Dam after the improvements would be:

96,050,000 cubic meters * 10 = 960,500,000 cubic meters

So, Fort Peck Dam will hold 960,500,000 cubic meters after the improvements.

To summarize, to find the new volume, you multiply the current volume (in this case, 96,050,000 cubic meters) by the desired multiplier (in this case, 10) to calculate the increased volume.
