The rate in m³/m² is 40m³/m².

1 m³ is literally a cube with sides that are 1 m in length. 1 m = 100 cm, so each side of this cube is 100cm in length. Finding the volume means multiplying length by width by height:

100 (100) (100) = 1,000,000 cm³ in 1m³.

We know that we have 25,000cm³ of mulch; we divide to find how many cubic meters this is:

1,000,000/25,000 = 40 m³.

This makes the rate 40m³/m².
