Answer
(a) $V=4.83\times10^{8}~ft^{3}$
(b) $V=1.37\times10^{7}~m^{3}$
Work Step by Step
See conversion factors (inside front cover).
(a) $1~yd=3~ft$ and $1~m=3.281~ft$
$L=(631~m)(\frac{3.281~ft}{1~m})=2.07\times 10^{3}~ft$
$W=(707~yd)(\frac{3~ft}{1~yd})=2.12\times10^{3}~ft$
$H=110~ft=1.10\times10^{2}~ft$
$V=L\times W\times H=(2.07\times 10^{3}~ft)(2.12\times10^{3}~ft)(1.10\times10^{2}~ft)=4.83\times10^{8}~ft^{3}$
(b) $V=(4.83\times10^{8}~ft^{3})(\frac{1~m}{3.281~ft})^{3}=1.37\times10^{7}~m^{3}$
