Question

Mr. Cooper’s company rents storage containers to customers. The customers can choose which size fits their needs and Cooper Storage delivers the containers. After the customers fill the containers, the company transports them to a warehouse to be stored until the customer needs the contents.
(a) The volume for one size of the storage containers is 574 ft3. The container has a length of
10 ft and a width of 7 ft. How tall would a stack of 6 containers be if they were stacked one on top of another?

Answer 1

I'm assuming the containers are rectangular prisms?... :P
First you need to find the height of one container using the volume formula and then multiply the height by 6. :)
The volume formula for a rectangular prism is: V = l x w x h
So let's plug in what we know and solve for h.
574 = 10 x 7 x h
574 = 70 x h
8.2 = h
Now multiply 8.2 by 6 to get your answer... :)

Answer 2

16.4?

Answer 3

sorry the 10 is 10 1/4

Answer 4

Oh, okay. So then the work would be...
574 = 10.25 x 7 x h
574 = 71.75 x h
8 = h
So, 8*6=48
Your answer is 48ft. :)

Answer 5

How'd you get 16.4? .-.
