Question

Mrs. Nelson has a rectangular flower box that is 5 feet long and 2 feet tall. She wants the width of the box to no more than 5 feet. If the width is a whole number, what are the possible volumes for the flower box?

Answer 1

Volume = length x width x height.
if the width has to be a whole number no more than 5 then the only options for the width is 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.
V=5x1x2
V=10
V=5x2x2
V=20
V=5x3x2
V=30
V=5x4x2
V=40
V=5x5x2
V=50
the possible volumes are as follows: 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50.
make sure in your answer that you label your volumes so you write ft^3 after every volume answer.
