    Answer:

    We always need an equation relating the given information to what is to be found. With this problem, we must assume that the giant model is proportional to the standard pencil.

    3 m: 18 cm :: Vg:9 cm^3 where Vg is the volume of the giant pencil.

    Before any calculations are performed all units must be the same.

    The 3 m large pencil must be converted to cm. Each meter is 100 centimeters. Therefore: the proportion must be adjusted to:

    300 cm : 18 cm :: Vg : 9 vm^3

    300/18 = Vg/9 Now solve.

    300 x 9 = 18 Vg By cross multiple

    2700 = 18 Vg Divide both sides by 18

    Vg = 2700/18 = 150 cm^3 = 0.00015 m^3

    Conversion Factor: 1 cm^3 = 10^-6 m^3 Divide by 10^6.

    Now Double Check
