Answer 1

@dtan5457 This i need help on just a little to understand

Answer 2

For starters part A: just use the formula for a regular rectangular prism which is length times width times height

Answer 3

convert the 6 cm to inches first

Answer 4

6cm=2.36220472441 which you might want to round

Answer 5

multiply 2.36220472441,13,7

Answer 6

for volume in inches

Answer 7

PART B: 1 cup=14.44 cubic inches..

so if they poured 14 of them...

14.44 times 14=202.16 cubic inches

Answer 8

as for part c:

202.16 = 13*7*h

202.16 from the water cubic inches, now knowing your other dimensions, figure out the height with that equation
