Question

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?

[1 foot = 12 inches]

Answer 1

this is pretty much asking for the volume of the window box and then divide the volume of the window box by .625

Answer 2

yeah but idk how to do it

Answer 3

volume of box = (length) (width) (height)
= 5 * 6 * 9
= 270
how many bags of 0.625 can go into 270?
270/0.625 =

Answer 4

whch u get 432

Answer 5

5*6*9=270 cubic feet for the box. 270/.625=432 bags

Answer 6

@sithrebel15 you have to convert all the measurements into either feet or inches. Reread the problem

Answer 7

60*6*9=3240 then 3240 is the volume so u divide it by .625 which is 5184

Answer 8

so the answer is 5184 @Oceans

Answer 9

No because they forgot to move the bags to inches too. so you go 60*6*9=3240. Then you have to convert the .625 feet to inches.

Answer 10

so the answer is .625 feet

Answer 11

oh my b im blind

Answer 12

one sec

Answer 13

yea its 432

Answer 14

its

V = 5 x 0.5 x 0.75

thats it... you need all units the same.

Answer 15

the volume is V = 1.875 cubic ft

Answer 16

so the number of values is

bags = volume /0.625

or bags = 1.875/0.625

so it looks like 3 bags to me
