Answer 6

Someone help me please.

Answer 7

The volume of the rectangular box will come from multiplying the length by width by height. Because the bags of sand are in cubic feet, change the dimensions so that they are in terms of feet.

Answer 8

Yes, so how would I do that. How would I set this up to solve it?

Answer 9

First, get the volume in terms of cubic feet.

The length of the sand box is 3 feet, width is 6 inches, and height is 2.4 inches.

V = 3 * (6/12) * (2.4/12) cubic feet.

Simplify that. Then, there's a little more to do.

Answer 10

Okay give me a sec to simplify.

Answer 11

I got 0.3

Answer 12

That is what I got. So, the volume is .3 cubic feet.

Answer 13

We are filling the box with sand. Each bag of sand holds .15 cubic feet.

Each bag of sand contains 0.15 cubic foot of sand.

Answer 14

To get the number of needed bags, divide .3 by .15.

.3/.15 = ?

Answer 15

2 ?

Answer 16

What did you get?

I got 2 also, so we need 2 bags of sand.

Answer 17

So it is 2 right?
