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 489.5 liters into cubic meters we have to multiply 489.5 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

489.5 L → V_(m3)

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

V_(m3) = 489.5 L × 0.001 m3

V_(m3) = 0.4895 m3

The final result is:

489.5 L → 0.4895 m3

We conclude that 489.5 liters is equivalent to 0.4895 cubic meters:

489.5 liters = 0.4895 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 2.0429009193054 × 489.5 liters.

Another way is saying that 489.5 liters is equal to 1 ÷ 2.0429009193054 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-nine point five liters is approximately zero point four nine cubic meters:

489.5 L ≅ 0.49 m3

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