Conversion formula

The conversion factor from liters to cubic meters is 0.001, which means that 1 liter is equal to 0.001 cubic meters:

1 L = 0.001 m3

To convert 488 liters into cubic meters we have to multiply 488 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from liters to cubic meters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 L → 0.001 m3

488 L → V_(m3)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the volume V in cubic meters:

V_(m3) = 488 L × 0.001 m3

V_(m3) = 0.488 m3

The final result is:

488 L → 0.488 m3

We conclude that 488 liters is equivalent to 0.488 cubic meters:

488 liters = 0.488 cubic meters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 cubic meter is equal to 2.0491803278689 × 488 liters.

Another way is saying that 488 liters is equal to 1 ÷ 2.0491803278689 cubic meters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that four hundred eighty-eight liters is approximately zero point four eight eight cubic meters:

488 L ≅ 0.488 m3

An alternative is also that one cubic meter is approximately two point zero four nine times four hundred eighty-eight liters.
