A student sets up the following equation to convert a measurement. The (?) Stands for a number the student is going to calculate. Fill in the missing part of this equation. (0.030 cm^3) x ? =m^3

\text{0.30 cm}^{3} \times \left (\dfrac{10^{-2}\text{ m}}{\text{1 cm}}\right )^{3} = 3.0 \times 10^{-7} \text{ m}^{3}  

Explanation:

0.030 cm³ × ? = x m³

You want to convert cubic centimetres to cubic metres, so you multiply the cubic centimetres by a conversion factor.

For example, you know that centi means "× 10⁻²", so  

1 cm = 10⁻² m

If we divide each side by 1 cm, we get 1 = (10⁻² m/1 cm).

If we divide each side by 10⁻² m, we get (1 cm/10⁻² m) = 1.

So, we can use either (10⁻² m/1 cm) or (1 cm/10⁻² m) as a conversion factor, because each fraction equals one.

We choose the former because it has the desired units on top.

The "cm" is cubed, so we must cube the conversion factor.

The calculation becomes
