Dan poured 5 cups of water into a rectangular container measuring 8 inches by 6 inches by 7 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. (3 points)

Part B: How many cubic inches of water was poured into the container? (3 points)

Part C: What was the height of the water in the container? Show your work. (4 points)

Measurement is given as length by width by height.

Answer 1

A. the volume of the container is
8*2.54*6*2.54*7=2167.74 cm^3=2.17dm^3 (all the measures were converted from inch to cm)
in 2.17dm^3 you can pour 2.17l of water
or 8*6*7/2.54=132.28 cubic inches


B. it was poured 14.44*5=72;2 cubic inches into the container

C to see the heigth you must divide this volume by the area of the container which is 8*6=48
heigth=72.2/48=1.5 inch=3.82 cm
