a)

\n

The advertised engine size is $\\var{cc}$ cubic centimetres. To convert cubic centimetres to litres, we divide by $1000$. 

\n

\\[\\var{cc}\\div 1000= \\var{litres}\\text{ litres.}\\]

\n

b)

\n

In order to convert to cubic metres, we first note that 

\n

\\[ 1 \\text{cm} = 0.01 \\text{m.} \\]

\n

An example of a volume of $1\\text{cm}^3$ is a cube with $1$cm sides. Converting each side into metres,

\n

\\begin{align}
1\\text{cm}^3 &= 1\\text{cm}\\times1\\text{cm}\\times1\\text{cm} \\\\
&= 0.01\\text{m}\\times0.01\\text{m}\\times0.01\\text{m} \\\\
&= 0.000001\\text{m}^3 \\text{.}
\\end{align}

\n

Therefore $\\var{cc}\\text{cm}^3$ is 

\n

\\[ \\var{cc} \\times 0.000001 = \\var{metres_cubed}\\text{m}^3\\text{.} \\]
