Math Problem Statement

If x is any number, then x liters is the same as 1000x milliliters because there are 1000 mL in 1 L. Write expressions for x in the following units: a. cm³, b. m³, c. kL, d. ML. Also, solve a rectangular prism's volume given dimensions in cm or m, and express the capacity in cm³, mL, L, kL, and ML.

Solution

Let's analyze the questions in the image. Here's a breakdown of what's asked:

Question 15:

It provides a reference that if xx is any number, then xx liters is the same as 1000x=1000x1000x = 1000x milliliters because there are 1000 mL in 1 L.

  • You're asked to write expressions for xx L in the following units: a. cm3\text{cm}^3
    b. m3\text{m}^3
    c. kL (kiloliters)
    d. ML (megaliters)

Question 16:

It presents a rectangular prism with length ll cm, width ww cm, and height hh cm, asking you to write expressions for the capacity of the container in several units.

16a:

Capacity in:

  • i. cm3\text{cm}^3
  • ii. mL\text{mL}
  • iii. LL
  • iv. kLkL

16b:

A rectangular prism with length ll m, width ww m, and height hh m. Write an expression for the capacity of the container in:

  • i. m3\text{m}^3
  • ii. LL
  • iii. kLkL
  • iv. MLML

Now, I'll solve the problems:

Question 15: Writing expressions for xx liters in various units.

  1. a. cm³:
    Since 1 liter =1000cm3= 1000 \, \text{cm}^3, for xx liters: xL=1000xcm3x \, \text{L} = 1000x \, \text{cm}^3

  2. b. m³:
    Since 1 liter =0.001m3= 0.001 \, \text{m}^3: xL=0.001xm3x \, \text{L} = 0.001x \, \text{m}^3

  3. c. kL (kiloliters):
    Since 1 liter =0.001kL= 0.001 \, \text{kL}: xL=0.001xkLx \, \text{L} = 0.001x \, \text{kL}

  4. d. ML (megaliters):
    Since 1 liter =0.000001ML= 0.000001 \, \text{ML}: xL=0.000001xMLx \, \text{L} = 0.000001x \, \text{ML}


Question 16: Expressions for the capacity of a rectangular prism in different units.

16a: For a rectangular prism with dimensions in cm.

  • i. cm³:
    The volume of the prism is: V=l×w×hcm3V = l \times w \times h \, \text{cm}^3

  • ii. mL:
    Since 1 cm3=1mL\text{cm}^3 = 1 \, \text{mL}: V=l×w×hmLV = l \times w \times h \, \text{mL}

  • iii. L:
    Since 1000 cm3=1L\text{cm}^3 = 1 \, \text{L}: V=l×w×h1000LV = \frac{l \times w \times h}{1000} \, \text{L}

  • iv. kL:
    Since 1 kL=1000L\text{kL} = 1000 \, \text{L}, we divide by 1,000,000: V=l×w×h1,000,000kLV = \frac{l \times w \times h}{1,000,000} \, \text{kL}

16b: For a rectangular prism with dimensions in meters.

  • i. m³:
    The volume in m3\text{m}^3: V=l×w×hm3V = l \times w \times h \, \text{m}^3

  • ii. L:
    Since 1 m3=1000L\text{m}^3 = 1000 \, \text{L}: V=1000×l×w×hLV = 1000 \times l \times w \times h \, \text{L}

  • iii. kL:
    Since 1 kL=1000L\text{kL} = 1000 \, \text{L}: V=l×w×hkLV = l \times w \times h \, \text{kL}

  • iv. ML:
    Since 1 ML=1,000,000L\text{ML} = 1,000,000 \, \text{L}: V=l×w×h1000MLV = \frac{l \times w \times h}{1000} \, \text{ML}
