The amount of space filled by a three-dimensional form is defined as its volume. To put it another way, the area or region enclosed by the form is determined by a number which is called its volume. The cubic meter is the standard unit of volume measurement (m3). However, in order to represent higher volumes, we must employ the metric system, which allows us to convert standard units into larger measurement units such as cubic inches, cubic feet, acre, hectare, and so on.

Cubic Foot

A cubic foot is the volume of a cube with a length of one foot long on each side. The symbol ft3 is used to represent it. It is a volume measurement unit used in both the imperial and non-metric management systems in the United Kingdom. 1 cubic foot is written as 1 cu. ft or 1 ft3. It is equivalent to 28.32 liters of capacity.

Cubic Meter

A cubic meter is the volume of a cube with a length of one meter long on each side. The symbol m3 is used to represent it. It is used widely to measure smaller values of volume. 1 cubic meter is written as 1 cu. m or 1 m3. It is equivalent to 1000 liters of capacity.

How to Convert Cubic Foot To Cubic Meter? 

The value of 1 cubic foot equals 0.028 cubic meters. To convert cubic feet to cubic meters, we have to multiply the given value of cubic feet by a factor of 0.028. For example, 10 cubic feet are converted into cubic inches as 10 × 0.028 = 0.28 cubic meters.

1 cubic foot = 0.028 cubic meters

Or

1 cubic feet = 0.028a cubic meters

Sample Problems

Problem 1: Convert 2 cubic feet into cubic meters.

Solution:

We know,

1 cubic foot = 0.028 cubic meters

2 cubic feet = 0.028 × 2 cubic meters

2 cubic feet = 0.056 cubic meters

Problem 2: Convert 12 cubic feet into cubic meters.

Solution:

We know,

1 cubic foot = 0.28 cubic meters

12 cubic feet = 0.028 × 12 cubic meters

12 cubic feet = 0.336 cubic meters

Problem 3: Convert 25 cubic feet into cubic meters.

Solution:

We know,

1 cubic foot = 0.028 cubic meters

25 cubic feet = 0.028 × 25 cubic meters

25 cubic feet = 0.7 cubic meters

Problem 4: Convert 0.78 cubic feet into cubic meters.

Solution:

We know,

1 cubic foot = 0.028 cubic meters

0.78 cubic feet = 0.028 × 0.78 cubic meters

0.78 cubic feet = 0.021 cubic meters

Problem 5: Convert 0.91 cubic feet into cubic meters.

Solution:

We know,

1 cubic foot = 0.028 cubic meters

0.91 cubic feet = 0.028 × 0.91 cubic meters

0.91 cubic feet = 0.0254 cubic meters

Problem 6: Convert 5.74 cubic feet into cubic meters.

Solution:

We know,

1 cubic foot = 0.028 cubic meters

5.74 cubic feet = 0.028 × 5.74 cubic meters

5.74 cubic feet = 0.16072 cubic meters

Problem 7: Convert 280 cubic feet into cubic meters.

Solution:

We know,

1 cubic foot = 0.028 cubic meters

280 cubic feet = 0.028 × 280 cubic meters

280 cubic feet = 7.84 cubic meters
