Jack would need to buy 2 bags of sand.
To find the answer you first have to find the volume of the rectangular box which can be found using the formula length times width times height (remember that the numbers have to have the same unit so it would look like 3 times .5 times .2 if you convert them all the feet). the volume of the box is equal to .3
Then you could set the volume of the box equal to .15x to find how many boxes he would need. The formula would be .15x=.3
Divide by .15 to get x alone and you get 2 for the answer.
1) Solve one of the equations for either variable.
2) Substitute the expression from Step 1 into the other equation.
3) Solve the resulting equation.
4) Substitute the solution in Step 3 into one of the original equations to find the other variable.
5) Write the solution as an ordered pair.
