OpenStudy (tayfishb):

x in/10 cm= 1 in/2.54 cm

OpenStudy (itrymath):

I know what you drew but no idea what to do.

OpenStudy (tayfishb):

2.54x=10

OpenStudy (tayfishb):

solve for x to get inches

OpenStudy (itrymath):

okay

OpenStudy (tayfishb):

do you understand volume?

OpenStudy (itrymath):

3.93?

OpenStudy (itrymath):

No unfortunately I don't

OpenStudy (tayfishb):

for inches yeah. but you do understand how to find volume?

OpenStudy (itrymath):

no

OpenStudy (tayfishb):

length*width*height

OpenStudy (itrymath):

its 235.8

OpenStudy (tayfishb):

yes

OpenStudy (itrymath):

@TayFish8

OpenStudy (tayfishb):

yes?

OpenStudy (itrymath):

part b and part c but guide me through them not just give me answer please

OpenStudy (tayfishb):

if 1cup=14.44in^3 , then how many inches cubed are in 15 cups

OpenStudy (itrymath):

16.32963988919668

OpenStudy (tayfishb):

ok, how did you get that?

OpenStudy (itrymath):

divided 235.8 by 15

OpenStudy (itrymath):

help please

OpenStudy (tayfishb):

correct

OpenStudy (itrymath):

I'm confused....

OpenStudy (tayfishb):

15 cups is x number of inches cubed. all you have to do is convert

OpenStudy (itrymath):

okay I got it. Part C?

OpenStudy (itrymath):

wait so part c is 235.8 divided by 2.54
