Answer 2

let me remember

Answer 3

8 inches by 6 inches by 7 centimeters.
= 8 inches by 6 inches by 7/2.54 inches

Answer 4

''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
height=72.2/48=1.5 inch=3.82 cm''
