Answer 1

l say about 1/3

and multiply by 1000

Answer 2

You say you don't have a metric rule. Do you have an inch rule?

If so...

There are 2.54 centimeters in an inch. There are 100 centimeters in a meter.

Answer 3

If you can bring your shoe box to school, you could measure it there.

If you're looking for the volume of the shoe box, take your answer in cubic meters and multiply by 1,000,000,000 to get how many milliliters are in the shoe box.

You multiply by 1,000,000,000 because there are 1000 millimeters in a meter, and you have to multiply 1000 by itself three times since you are measuring volume (length times width times height).  I milliliter = 1 cubic millimeter.

If that isn't clear feel free to send an email.
