"1 foot, 12 inches = 30.48 cm"1 foot, 12 inches = 30.48 cm. 1 cubic foot, 1*ft^31ft3, = (30.48*cm)^3 =?(30.48cm)3=?

Explanation:

It seems strange to be using feet and inches; it's almost like using pounds, shillings, and pence, and guineas and sovereigns. Anyway, you have the conversion factor, (30.48)^3(30.48)3 cm^3cm3 ft^-3ft3, 2831628316 cm^3ft^-3cm3ft3. I have tried to include the dimensional conversion factor.

PS I do realize that the USA persists in using imperial, and non-imperial, measurements, and in fact ”US pints and gallons” are different to ”Imperial ones”. There was an old article I was trying to find about the measurement of the speed of light in furlongs per fortnight.
