Question

I REALLY NEED HELP
Mike poured 15 cups of water into a rectangular container measuring 10 inches by 6 inches by 9 centimeters.
[1 cup = 14.44 cubic inches; 1 inch = 2.54 cm]
Part A: What is the maximum volume of water that the rectangular container can hold? Show your work.
Part B: How many cubic inches of water was poured into the container?
Part C: What was the height of the water in the container? Show your work.
Measurement is given as length by width by height.

Answer 1

You need to convert the centimeters into inches first.
9cm/2.54cm= total inches.
Volume = l*w*h = 9*6*(9/2.54) inch^3
15cups*14.44 inch^3 = total volume of water in inches^3

Answer 2

210 total volume of water in inches^3?

Answer 3

firstly, make sure you use uniform units, for instance lets use cm
10*2.54 and 6*2.54
then find the volume i.e v=l*w*h
v=[10*2.54]*[6.2.54]*9
