Answer

The volume of the bottle is short of 1.0 million cubic centimeters by $~~2.69\times 10^5~cm^3$

Work Step by Step

Please note that this is question 20a $1~US~gallon = 3.785 411 8~liters = 3785.4118~cm^3$ We can find the volume of the bottle in units of cubic centimeters: $V = (193~US~gallons)\times (\frac{3785.4118~cm^3}{1~US~gallon}) = 7.31\times 10^5~cm^3$ We can subtract this volume from 1.0 million cubic centimeters: $(1.0\times 10^6~cm^3)-(7.31\times 10^5~cm^3) = 2.69\times 10^5~cm^3$ The volume of the bottle is short of 1.0 million cubic centimeters by $~~2.69\times 10^5~cm^3$
