2.2 cubic dm of brass is to be drawn into a cylindrical wire 0.50 cm in diameter. Find the length of the wire.

Explanation

To find the length of the cylindrical wire that can be made from 2.2 cubic decimeters of brass, we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Convert the volume from cubic decimeters to cubic centimeters.
1 cubic decimeter (dm³) is equal to 1000 cubic centimeters (cm³). Therefore, to convert 2.2 dm³ to cm³:
\[ \text{Volume in cm}^3 = 2.2 \, \text{dm}^3 \times 1000 \, \text{cm}^3/\text{dm}^3 = 2200 \, \text{cm}^3 \]
