OK guys...erm...I have never really been in the homework forum, so I have no clue if I am doing something wrong.
Anyways, I am working with the metric system in science and it is really confusing me. How would I work this problem?

First, work out how many litres per cubic metre. To get you started, 1 mL is equivalent to 1 cm^3. This means, a 1 m^3 cube (obviously) is 100 cm x 100 cm x 100 cm or 1000000 cm^3/1000=1000 L. In other words, you have 1000 L per cubic metre.
The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.
