Volume of a solid

[kitty08]

For my calculus class we have to find the volume of a flower vase. I drew the graph of the solid, found all the points, broke the graph into segments and found the equation for each segment using my calculator (we are allowed to use the calculator for everything) and then integrated each of these equations also using the TI-83 calculator. Now I am stuck on how to convert the volume that I got from the calculator into milliliters because we measured the actual volume of the vase by filling it with water and measuring the milliliters. The graph paper I used for the graph was 4 squares per inch so I found the point at every 1/8 of an inch and i know that cubic inches will play a part, I'm just confused as to what units the volume of the calculator is in. Any help would be great!!

If you have cubic inches and you want milliliters, multiply by 16.387.

There are 16.387 mL in 1 cubic inch.

The problem is that I'm not sure what units I have. They are way too high for cubic inches because I know the amount of milliliters that I am supposed to have and I have done the integration multiple times.
