V=lwh so
12=l*2*1.5

anonymous · Answer

$$V=l \times w \times h$$ therefore we can rearrange to get$$l=\frac{V}{w \times h}$$  and then substitute known values to solve.

@isaidavila @twvogels I think I did something wrong. I got 8.5 but that's not one of the options

isaidavila · Answer

12=L*2*(1.5)
12=L*3
L=12/3
