Question

Sam stores manure for his farm in a rectangular box. The length of the box is 7 feet, width is 9 inches, and height is 6 inches. Each bag of manure he bought contains 2.625 cubic feet of manure. How many bags of manure will fill the box completely? [1 foot = 12 inches]

Answer 1

He will only need one bag.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

9 inches = 9/12 ft = 0.75ft
6 inches = 6/12 ft = 0.5 ft

V = 7 x 0.75 x 0.5
V = 2.625 ft^3

He will only need to buy one bag to fill the box
