Question

A rancher is ordering a box of cube-shaped salt licks. the edge length of each salt lick are 5/12 foot. is the volume of one salt lick greater or less than 1 cubic foot?​

Answer 1

Answer:

0.0723 cubic feet < 1 cubic foot.

Step-by-step explanation:

A cube-shaped salt lick is ordered by a rancher and the length of each salt lick is $\frac{5}{12}$ foot.

Therefore, the side length of each salt lick of cube-shape is $\frac{5}{12}$ foot.

So, the volume of each salt lick is $(\frac{5}{12} \times \frac{5}{12} \times \frac{5}{12}) = \frac{125}{1728} = 0.0723$ cubic feet.

Hence, this volume is less than 1 cubic foot. (Answer)
