In this case, one basic question that we need to answer is this: How many cubic millimeters are there in one cubic centimeter?

Let's picture one cubic centimeter:
It is a cube that is 1 cm x 1 cm x 1 cm.

Since 1 cm = 10 mm, the cube's dimensions could also be characterized as 10mm x 10mm x 10mm.

Therefore: 1 cubic centimeter = 1000 cubic millimeters.

If the container has a volume 14,520 cubic millimeters, this volume is also equal to 14520/1000 cubic centimeters, which equals 14.52 cubic centimeters, so the correct answer choice is (C).
