hi,

1 millimeter = 0.1 centimeter..
so 10 mm= 1 cm..
$$10mm*10mm*10mm=1cm*1cm*1cm$$..
1000cu mm= 1 cu cm..
so 1 cu mm = $$\frac{1}{1000}$$ cu cm..
$$32490$$ cu mm =$$\frac{32490}{1000}$$ cu cm = $$32.49$$ cu cm

This is not a 700 level question. I have changed the tag to sub-600 level and added the complete source information.

As for this question, remember that 1 cm = 10 mm

Thus, $$32490 {mm}^3 = 32490 * 10^{-3} {cm}^3 = 32.49 {cm}^3.$$

C is thus the correct answer.

Hope this helps.

Apologies, I intended to categorize it as 600 level. This question is #126 out of 175 in OG Quant 2016.

Since 1 millimeter = 0.1 centimeter, then 1 millimeter^3 = 0.1 x 0.1 x 0.1 centimeter = 0.001 centimeter^3

Thus, 32,490 cubic millimeters = 32,490 x 0.001 = 32.49 cubic centimeters

hi there

is my approach correct ?

1 cm = 10 mm

10 cm = 100 mm

100 cm = 1000 mm

hence:

32,490 / 1000 = 32.49

$$1$$ $$millimeter$$ = $$\frac{1}{10}$$ $$centimeter$$

So, $$1$$ $$millimeter ^3$$ = $$(\frac{1}{10})^3$$ $$centimeter^3$$

So, 32,490 cubic millimeters = $$\frac{32,490}{1000}$$ $$centimeter^3$$
