Question

A rectangular crate has the dimensions of 32.1 inches by 28.2 inches by 1 foot.What is the volume of the crate? Round your answer to the nearest tenth, if necessary
a)6.3 cubic feet
b)16. cubic feet
c)18.4 cubic feet
d)905.22 cubic feet

Answer 1

32.1×28.2×1=905.22
So the answer is D

Answer 2

Convert all to feet:
28.2 inches = 28.2 ÷ 12 = 2.35 feet
32.1 inches = 32.1 ÷ 12 = 2.675 feet

Volume = Length x Width x Height
Volume = 2.35 x 2.675 x 1 = 6.3 ft³ (nearest tenth)

Answer: 6.3 ft³
