A)        2.75 x 10^-3 cm³           C)        275 x 10^-3 cm³           E)        27.5 x 10³ cm³

           B)        2.75 cm³                     D)       2.75 x 10³ cm³

Answer 1

As we know, 1 liter contains 1000 milliliters. And we know that 1 mL = 1 cm³. So, 2.75 L is 1000 times greater measured in mL: 2.75·10³ mL = 2.75·10³ cm³.
