Solution

Here’s the breakdown of the exercises visible in the image:

Exercise 1: Conversion

You are required to convert between different units of volume:

  1. 4.8 m³ to dm³
    1 m³ = 1000 dm³.
    So, 4.8m3=4.8×1000=4800dm34.8 \, \text{m}^3 = 4.8 \times 1000 = 4800 \, \text{dm}^3.

  2. 764 dm³ to m³
    1 m³ = 1000 dm³.
    So, 764dm3=7641000=0.764m3764 \, \text{dm}^3 = \frac{764}{1000} = 0.764 \, \text{m}^3.

  3. 500 cm³ to dl
    1 cm³ = 0.01 dl.
    So, 500cm3=500×0.01=5dl500 \, \text{cm}^3 = 500 \times 0.01 = 5 \, \text{dl}.

  4. 0.48 dm³ to cl
    1 dm³ = 100 cl.
    So, 0.48dm3=0.48×100=48cl0.48 \, \text{dm}^3 = 0.48 \times 100 = 48 \, \text{cl}.


Exercise 2: Volume of a rectangular prism

You are given dimensions:
22.5 mm, 18 mm, and 11.3 mm.

The formula for volume:
V=length×width×heightV = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height}

Converting to cm for easier interpretation:

  • 22.5mm=2.25cm22.5 \, \text{mm} = 2.25 \, \text{cm}
  • 18mm=1.8cm18 \, \text{mm} = 1.8 \, \text{cm}
  • 11.3mm=1.13cm11.3 \, \text{mm} = 1.13 \, \text{cm}

V=2.25×1.8×1.13=4.57965cm3V = 2.25 \times 1.8 \times 1.13 = 4.57965 \, \text{cm}^3

So, the volume is approximately 4.58cm34.58 \, \text{cm}^3.


Exercise 3: Volume of a cylinder

You are tasked with finding the capacity of a cylindrical box with:

  • Diameter = 12 cm (thus, radius r=122=6cmr = \frac{12}{2} = 6 \, \text{cm}),
  • Height = 14 cm.

The formula for the volume of a cylinder: V=πr2hV = \pi r^2 h

Substituting: V=π(6)2(14)=π(36)(14)=504πcm3V = \pi (6)^2 (14) = \pi (36) (14) = 504\pi \, \text{cm}^3

Using π3.1416\pi \approx 3.1416: V504×3.1416=1584.74cm3V \approx 504 \times 3.1416 = 1584.74 \, \text{cm}^3

The capacity of the cylinder is approximately 1584.74cm31584.74 \, \text{cm}^3.
