1.39 "m"^3m3

Explanation:

You should know that 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters and that 1 centimeter is 10^-2102 meters. These are the conversion factors you will need.

So,

8.50 "in"^3=8.50 " in"^3xx((2.54 " cm")/(1 " in"))^3xx((1 " m")/(10^2 " cm"))^3in3=8.50 in3×(2.54 cm1 in)3×(1 m102 cm)3

The inches and centimeter units will then neatly cancel out. Plugging this into your calculator gives you

8.50 " in"^3=1.39 " m"^38.50 in3=1.39 m3
