1 qt cube; find edge length using 4 qt = 3.786*10^-3 m^3

[thatguy47]

Here's the question:

39. Exactly 1 quart of ice cream is to be made in the form of a cube. What should be the length of one side in meters for the container to have the appropriate volume? (Use the following conversion: 4 qt = 3.786 x 10^(-3) m^3.

I couldn't figure out how to solve this. I know the answer is 9.818 x 10^(-2) m but how do you get that?

First find, from the given information, how many m^3 = 1 qt

Then take cube root of that number to find side of a cube (why?).

Thanks. I just forgot how to approach the problem. I should know this I'm in AP calculus .
