i have to convert 7 feet in to inches which is 84 in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A=2(wl+hl+hw)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 84 x9x6 = 4536

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then convert 2.625 cubic into inches which is 31.5 inches

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so A=2(9*84+6*84+6*9)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then divide 4536 into 31.5 equals 144 divided by 12 equals 12 bags

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A=2628cm^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A=219 ft^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

about 83 or 84 bags will fill the box
