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.

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 = 1/1000 cu cm..
32490 cu mm =32490/1000 cu cm = 32.49 cu cm

The way that the question is written (the format i mean) is wrong all day long.

The solution implies that 32,490 cubic millimeters is an integer rather than decimal (i.e. 32,490mm = 32490 mm).

This is misleading because 32,490mm it can be interpreted as 3249 * 10^-2 mm = 3249 * 10^-5 cubic meters. This is because the decimal sign ,
