Can Anyone Help Me please?!<3
Jane poured 12 cups of water into a rectangular container measuring 12 inches by 8 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. (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

Hmm...well the volume = lwh ...so what is the volume of the container?

Hint *notice that the height is in centimeters...convert that to inchest first

Answer 2

So Volume = L*W*H

V = 12 inches * 8 inches * 3.54 inches

V = ?

Answer 3

339.84?

Answer 4

So that was all part A right.?

Answer 5

Right....but remember that is cubic inches...

so the volume = 339.84 ...that is your answer to 1)

2) how much water did she pour in? well...12 cups of 14.44 cubic inches = 12 x 14.44 = ?

Answer 6

173.28?

Answer 7

Mmhmm again 173.28 cubic inches though (don't forget to write units) so thats part 2)

Answer 8

so part b is 173.28 cubic inches?

Answer 9

mmhmm that is part B

Answer 10

you explain this so much better then my actual teachers ever did ;-;

Answer 11

For part 3) you take that number (173.28) and you divide it by the length and the width given (since you want the height)

so

\[\large \frac{173.28}{12 \times 8} = ?\]
