A cubic meter is a cube with each side measuring 1 meter. Since 1 meter = 100 centimeters, each side also measures 100 centimeters. How many cubic centimeters are contained in 1 cubic meter?

100 cm100 cm100 cm1 m = 100 cm

Correct Answer

1,000,000 cm³

Explanation

Since 1 m = 100 cm, each side of the cubic meter is 100 cm long. There are 100 × 100 = 10,000 cubic centimeters on each level, and the cube has 100 levels:

\[100 \times 100 \times 100 = 1{,}000{,}000\]

There are 1,000,000 cubic centimeters in 1 cubic meter. Thus, \(1 \text{ m}^3 = 1{,}000{,}000 \text{ cm}^3\).
