Chemical Reaction Engineering Question on Single and multiple reactions in ideal reactors

A first-order liquid phase reaction A→BA \rightarrow B is conducted in two isothermal plug flow reactors (PFRs) of volume 1 m3^3 each, connected in series. The feed flow rate and concentration of A to the first reactor are 10 m3^3 h−1^{-1} and 1 kmol m−3^{-3}, respectively. At steady-state, the concentration of A at the exit of the second reactor is 0.2 kmol m−3^{-3}. If the two PFRs are replaced by two equal-volume continuously stirred tank reactors (CSTRs) to achieve the same overall steady-state conversion, the volume of each CSTR, in m3^3, is:
