Real-World Examples

Here are some real-world examples for other quantities of cubic inches:

1. Volume of a Soda Can

   • A standard 12-ounce soda can has a volume of about 21.6563 cubic inches.
   • To convert this to liters: $21.6563\ \text{cubic inches} \times 0.016387064\ \text{liters/cubic inch} = 0.35488\ \text{liters}$ So, a 12-ounce soda can has a volume of approximately 0.355 liters.

2. Volume of a Basketball

   • A regulation basketball has a volume of about 434.6 cubic inches.
   • To convert this to liters: $434.6\ \text{cubic inches} \times 0.016387064\ \text{liters/cubic inch} = 7.1208\ \text{liters}$ So, the volume of a basketball is approximately 7.121 liters.

3. Volume of an Engine

   • An engine with a displacement of 350 cubic inches (which is common in certain types of cars).
   • To convert this to liters: $350\ \text{cubic inches} \times 0.016387064\ \text{liters/cubic inch} = 5.7355\ \text{liters}$ So, the engine displacement is approximately 5.736 liters, commonly referred to as a 5.7-liter engine.

4. Volume of a Small Box

   • Suppose you have a small box with a volume of 100 cubic inches.
   • To convert this to liters: $100\ \text{cubic inches} \times 0.016387064\ \text{liters/cubic inch} = 1.6387\ \text{liters}$ So, the box has a volume of approximately 1.639 liters.

These examples should give you a good sense of how to visualize volumes in cubic inches and their equivalent in liters!
