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. = $\sqrt[3]{4}$ = 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.
