Common mistakes
- Multiplying instead of dividing. A cubic meter is larger than a cubic foot, so the number of cubic meters must come out smaller: 10 cubic feet = 0.283168 m³.
- Rounding too early. Keep the full factor until the last step; rounding 0.0283 to 0.03 first puts large values noticeably off.
