A steel box is 2.5 m in length, 1.8 m in breadth and 1.2 m in height.

1.	A steel box is 2.5 m in length, 1.8 m in breadth and 1.2 m in height. Find its volume in litres.
Answer» Solution :The VOLUME of the box is GIVEN by Volume = length x breadth x height `= 2.5 m xx 1.8 m xx 1.2 m = 5.4 m^3` 1 LITRE (L) = `10^(-3) m^3` `1 m^3 = 10^3` L Hence, the conversion factor would be: `1=(10^(3) L)/(1 m^(3))` Volume of box `=5.4 m^(3) xx 1 = 5.4 m^(3) xx (10^(3) L)/(1 m^(3))` `=5.4 xx 10^(3) L`
