Question

Alex stores fertilizer for his farm in a rectangular box. The length of the box is 6 feet, width is 3 inches, and height is 9 inches. Each bag of fertilizer contains 0.225 cubic foot of fertilizer. How many bags of fertilizer will fill the box completely?

[1 foot = 12 inches]

Answer 1

first what is the volume of the box?
When you have that you need to be careful as it will be in cubic inches and the bags come in cubic foot. Need to change one to continue

Answer 2

Step 1 : Find the volume of the rectangular box
\[{volume~of~a~rectangular~box=(6\times12)\times3\times9}\]\[Volume=1944~cubic~inches\]
Step 2 : Convert the volume of a bag to inches\[{volume~of~a~bag=0.225\times12}\]\[Volume=2.7cubic~inches\]
Step 3 : Find the number of bags that can fill the box completely\[Number~of~bags=\frac{ 1944cubic~inches }{ 2.7cubic~inches }\]\[Number~of~bags=\frac{ 1944\cancel{cubic~inches} }{ 2.7\cancel{cubic~inches} }\]\[Number~of~bags=?\]solve it @Nefxrious
