Answer:
No, it will not fit.
Step-by-step explanation:
Amanda purchased a storage cube that has a volume of 4 cubic feet.
Since the volume of the cube = 4 ft³
So length of each edge = cube root 4 ft. = = 1.58 ft.
Since 1 feet = 12 inches
Hence 1.58 ft = 12 × 1.58 = 18.96 ≈ 19 inches
Book shelf is 12 inches and storage cube is 19 inches, to it will not fit in the shelf.

Just to remove ambiguities, the bar over the expression means it's repeating itself to infinity.
notice, the idea being, you multiply it by 10 at some power, so that you move the "recurring decimal" to the other side of the point, and then split it with a digit and "x".
now, you can plug that in your calculator, to check what you get.
