Need help with CHEMISTRY problem ASAP!

Okay so I'm doing my chemistry homework and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the answer to this problem. It's my last one to do until I'm complete and I have ran out of options.


I am asking help with this problem. It's probably really simple and I am just over-thinking it. I have been stuck on this problem for over an hour and losing my mind.


I have always been horrible with math and anything that has to do with math, it just doesn't click in my brain like other subjects. Way too confusing for me.

SO PLEASE, SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW TO DO THIS.


P.S. if it is simple, don't bash me for being retarded


It's the problem that's highlighted in red.





Thanks in advance!! ​

 

unit converter + getting the dimensions of the sides in feet = your answer.

good luck





Plug the cubed root of the number in the problem into a unit converter, then cube that.

 

Assuming 1.75*10^6 is the cube the number. 1.75*10^6 and then convert to feet. cm to m is 100cm=1m. 1ft is 3.2m

((1.75*10^6)cm3*[1m3/100^3 cm3]*[1ft3/(3.2^3)m3] = 61.8006668 cubic feet ft^3 <-that should be your answer

also you can use google: http://bit.ly/1aKjEGu

 

I have sent your question to my wise son at Warren Wilson College. I hope for an answer soon!

 

the volume is 1.75x10^6 cubic centimeters. No need to cube it again.

 

whoops

 

Just tried that answer, it said it was incorrect.

 

Where does the periodic table come into play?

 

thanks!

 

because the answer is carbon.

 

yeah i tried too hard. i updated my post

 

I'll ask my 9 year old granddaughter.

 

Now I really feel behind haha

 

Said that was wrong too

 

I'm getting 0.0000618007 x 10^5 or 6.18007 cubic feet, but I'm no mathematician

 

does it need to be in scientific notation?

 

Don't think so, it just says enter a number only

 

61.799 multiplied by 98.54 divided by 98.54 is the answer.

 

Okay thanks! I had to put it in the right amount of SF.
Thanks a ton!


edit* -- Correct answer was: 61.8.
