Collect information:
Shoe box is~
a. 12 in. long
b. 6 in. wide
c. 5 in. tall
Find Volume:
To find volume...
Multiply length * width * height
l*w*h
Plug in numbers
12*6*5
This gives you, 360
Since we know that we want to find out how many 1 in. (which requires no extra work) blocks would fit, you can simply divide 360/1
Thus, you final answer would be, 360.

I hope this helps!

First find the volume of the block(s):
A=s^3
s=side length

A=1^3
A=1 cubic inch

Next, find the volume of the shoe box:
12*6*5
360 cubic inches

Finally, divide the volume of the larger box by the volume of the block to get how many blocks will fit:

360/1 = 360 blocks

Answer:

a) 0.2

b) 0.2

c) 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $S$ be the event "the car stops at the signal.

In the attached figure you can see a tree describing all possible scenarios.

For the first question the red path describes stopping at the first light but not stopping at the second. We can determine the probability of this path happening by multiplying the probabilities on the branches of the tree, thus

$P(a)=0.4\times0.5=0.2$
