Answer 4

Part A:
V = L * W * H
V = 10" * 6" * 9 cm (convert 9cm to inches = 9 * 2.54 = 22.86)
V = 10 * 6 * 22.86
V = 1371.6
Now all measurement are in the same unit.

Part B:
1 cup is = 14.44 cubic inches

So, 14.44 * 15 = 216.6
216.6 cubic inches of water have been poured into the container.

Part C:
The maximum volume of water that the rectangular container can hold is V = 1371.6

Mike poured 216.6 cubic inches into the pan.

216.6 = 10 * 6 * H

216.6 / 60 = 3.61
