Question

A sugar cube has a volume of about 4.9 ml. What is the total volume in milliliters of 1.5 x 10 to the sixth power sugar cubes?

Answer 1

To find the total volume of \( 1.5 \times 10^6 \) sugar cubes, each with a volume of 4.9 ml, you can multiply the number of sugar cubes by the volume of one sugar cube:

\[
\text{Total Volume} = \text{Number of Sugar Cubes} \times \text{Volume of One Sugar Cube}
\]

Substituting the values,

\[
\text{Total Volume} = 1.5 \times 10^6 \times 4.9 \, \text{ml}
\]

Now, performing the multiplication:

\[
1.5 \times 4.9 = 7.35
\]

Therefore, we can express the total volume as:

\[
\text{Total Volume} = 7.35 \times 10^6 \, \text{ml}
\]

So, the total volume of \( 1.5 \times 10^6 \) sugar cubes is \( 7.35 \times 10^6 \) ml.
