Question

CHECK MY ANSWER??? PLEASE

Sam stores manure for his farm in a rectangular box. The length of the box is 7 feet, width is 9 inches, and height is 6 inches. Each bag of manure he bought contains 2.625 cubic feet of manure. How many bags of manure will fill the box completely?

Answer 1

rectangle = length * width * height
7ft = 84in.
84in * 9in = 756in.
756in. * 6in. = 4,536in.
4,536in./2.625 cubic ft. = 1,728in.
1,728in./12in = 144
so he has to buy 144 bags of manure to fill the box.
Is this right?

Sorry I was in class. Do you still need help here?

Answer 15

it'll be 1 bag of manure
you need to convert the length & width in to same unit then
width = 0.75ft
height = 0.5ft
7*0.5=3sqft is the area
volume is 2.625 cubed feet
so 1 bag
