will give medal!! Zen wants to fill a window box with soil. The length of the window box is 5 feet, width is 6 inches, and height is 9 inches. Each bag of soil contains 0.625 cubic foot of soil. How many bags of soil will Zen need to fill the window box completely? @csscgirl

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the volume of the window box?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

270, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nevermind... that was wrong. just a sec. find the volume of the window box... remember to convert the length to inches

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok one second

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it doesn't say what the volume is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

60x6x9 is the volume... length x width x height

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then multiply .625 by 12.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7.5 bags are needed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, 7.5 cubic inches are in each bag

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide 3240 by 7.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is how many bags you need to fill the window box :)
