An aqaurium is 80cm long, 40cm wide, and 40cm high. What is its volume?
I got 128,000cm3
One cubic centimeter (cm3) holds 1 milliliter of water. 1,000 cm3 hold 1 liter. How many mL will the tank in problem 6 hold? How many liters?

Yes, the answer is 128,000 cm^3 or ml.
A milliliter and a cubic centimeter are the same thing. Both are volume units, and apply to any fluid...not just water.
Divide by 1000 for the number of liters.
Is problem 6 wrong?
How do I find out how many liters are there?
drwls told you the answer.
easier way, (the beauty of the metric system)
original is 80 cm by 40 cm by 40 cm
= 8 dm by 4 dm by 4 dm
volume = 128 dm^3
= 128 L , since 1 L = 1 dm^3 of liquid
Oh I get how to get the Liters now cause 128x1000=128000 from problem 6
How about mL?
To find the volume of the aquarium, you need to multiply its length, width, and height. So, the calculation would be:
Volume = Length x Width x Height
Substituting the given measurements:
Volume = 80 cm x 40 cm x 40 cm
= 128,000 cm^3
You are correct in finding that the volume of the aquarium is 128,000 cm^3.
To find the volume in milliliters (mL), you can use the conversion that 1 cm^3 is equal to 1 mL. Since the volume of the aquarium is 128,000 cm^3, it would also be equal to 128,000 mL.
To find the volume in liters (L), you can use the conversion that 1,000 cm^3 is equal to 1 L. Therefore, the volume of the aquarium would be:
Volume = 128,000 cm^3 / 1,000
= 128 L
So, the tank in problem 6 would hold 128,000 mL of water or 128 liters of water.
