Volume Calculation and Unit Conversion

Jimmy Chang, a math expert, explains how to calculate cubic meters. He emphasizes the importance of converting all dimensions to meters before calculating the volume of a box. The process involves multiplying the length, width, and height, ensuring all units are in meters. He demonstrates this with an example, calculating the volume of a box with given dimensions. The key takeaway is the necessity of unit conversion to accurately find cubic meters.
