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

The volume of the rectangular container is given by the formula:

V = L*W*H
V = 10" * 6" * 9 cm
V = 10 * 6 * 22.86 (22.86 = 9 * 2.54 to change the 9 cm to inches)
V = 1371.6 cubic inches @LegendaryNikki

Please check this and let me know what you think, okay?

Answer 2

@LegendaryNikki I'm waiting for you.

Answer 3

I dont know what to do @Directrix

Answer 4

Answer 7

@LegendaryNikki Post this product so we can finish this -->

-Multiply 14.44 times 15 and post what you get.

Answer 8

216.6

Answer 9

Okay, so 216.6 cubic inches is the answer to this:

Part B: How many cubic inches of water was poured into the container?

Answer 10

okay

Answer 11

And, this may be the answer to Part A if you check it:

V = L*W*H V = 10" * 6" * 9 cm

V = 10 * 6 * 22.86 (22.86 = 9 * 2.54 to change the 9 cm to inches)

V = 1371.6 cubic inches

Answer 12

okay

Answer 13

yes

Answer 14

@Directrix

Answer 15

The pan's capacity is V = 1371.6 cubic inches.

Mike poured 216.6 cubic inches into the pan.

Answer 16

216.6 = 10 * 6 * h

216.6 = 60 h

h = 216.6 / 60

h = ? @LegendaryNikki --> Please divide 216.6 by 60 and post what you get.

Answer 17

3.61

Answer 18

Okay, then the height of the water Mike poured into the pan is 3.61 inches.

So, that's it, I think.
