There are 36 cubic meters in 36,000 lieters (1 cubic meter = 1000 liters)

-------------------

Solution Method:

-------------------

1 m = 100 cm

1 cm^3 = 1 mL

1 L = 1,000 mL

Therefore:

"a cubic meter" = 1 m * 1 m * 1 m = 100 cm * 100 cm * 100 cm

1 m^3 = 1,000,000 cm^3

Convert cm^3 to mL using the conversion ratio 1 mL = 1 cm^3 as follows:

1,000,000 cm^3 * (1 mL / 1 cm^3) = 1,000,000 mL

(Note: cm^3 cancel)

Since the question requires us to have our answer in liters, we must convert mL to L using the conversion ratio 1 L = 1,000 mL as follows:

1,000,000 mL * (1 L / 1,000 mL) = 1,000 L

(Note: mL cancel)

Now we must substitute our converted quantity into our original equation to get the following:

1 m^3 = 1,000 L

^ This means:

1 cubic meter = 1,000 liters

Since the question asks: "How many cubic meters are 36000 litres of water?", we must use our new conversion ratio 1 m^3 = 1,000 L as follows:

36,000 L * (1 m^3 / 1,000 L) = 36 m^3

(Note: L cancel)

36 m^3 = 36 cubic meters
