Step 1 :Understand the problem: We are asked to convert a volume from centiliters cubed (cL^3) to milliliters cubed (mL^3).
Step 2 :Conversion factor: We know that 1 cL = 10 mL. Therefore, 1 cL^3 = (10 mL)^3 = 1000 mL^3.
Step 3 :Calculation: We multiply the given volume in cL^3 by the conversion factor to get the volume in mL^3. \(4.72 \, cL^3 * 1000 \, mL^3/cL^3 = 4720 \, mL^3\)
Step 4 :Convert to scientific notation: 4720 in scientific notation is \(4.72 * 10^3\).
Step 5 :Check the result: The result is in mL^3 and in scientific notation, as required by the problem.
Step 6 :\(\boxed{4.72 * 10^3 \, mL^3}\) is the final answer.
