Question

can you check my work just to see i'm right.

Answer 1

A yardstick measures 1/4 by 3 by 36 inches. How many
yard sticks will fit in a box 3 inches wide and 36
inches high, if the girth of the box is 30 inches?

Answer 2

Girth = 30 inches
Girth =3 + 3 + x + x
30 = 6 +2x
2x=30-6=24
x=12
yardsticks are 1/4 in thick
12/.25=48
48 yardsticks could be packed in that box.
I'm I right ? If you can check my work...

Answer 3

27 yard sticks, not sure though
If the box is 3 in wide and its girth is 30 in then its depth must be 12in.

1/4in thick means you'll fit 12 into 3in

3in wide means you'll get 4 in 12in

so number of rulers = 12x4=48

Answer 4

What do you think?

Answer 5

help -_- ? anyone

Answer 6

@Esmy wait a moment lol

Answer 7

calculate volume of one yardstick and volume of box
so number of yardsticks is volume of box divided by volume of each yardstick

Answer 8

is the work wrong D: ?

Answer 9

try calculating from my method and match answers :P ..

Answer 10

Can you show me sorry :/

Answer 11

okay :|

Answer 12

volume of stick = 1/4 * 3 * 36 = 27 cubic inches .. right ?

Answer 13

yes

Answer 14

volume of box = 3 * 30 * 36 = 3240.. ok ?

Answer 15

so total yardsticks are 3240/27 = 120.. okay ?
Unfortunately your answer was wrong. D:

Answer 16

OH I GET IT yeah yeah the width of the yardstick fits the 3 inch width of the box
and
The 36 inch length of the yardstick fits the height
and
4 of the 1/4 inch yardsticks make a stack 1 inch high
The number of 1/4 inch thick yardsticks that can
be stacked up in 30 inches
is 4 * 30 = 120

Answer 17

I got that at first but I didn't think it was the answer... :/
