2)54.6
3)670

i think this is a trick question. I know it could be 18.2 inches cubed or 6030 inches. So i don't know which would be the correct answer, if you could please explain thanks!

No it's not a trick question. You are correct in thinking it is 6030 cubic inches or 18.2^3.

Take your equality
1 cubit = 18.2 inches
(This makes it a Greek Kirenaika cubit -- there are so many cubits out there)
Cube BOTH sides
(1 cubit)^3 = (18.2 inches)^3
Distribute the cube inside the brakets
1^3 cubit ^3 = 18.2^3 inches^3
1^3 = 1
18.2^3 = 6028.568
cubit^3 = cubic cubit
inches^3 =cubic inches
1 cubic cubit = 6028.6 cubic inches.
(Using the Kirenaika cubit of 18.23 inches, we'd get 6058)
