For the upcoming holiday season, Dorothy wants to mold 20 bars of chocolate into tiny pyramids. Each bar of chocolate contains 6
cubic inches of chocolate. Dorothy plans to make chocolate pyramids with a square base of 1 square inch and a height of 2 inches. What is the largest number of pyramids she can make from the 20 bars of chocolate?
So each bar contains 6 and she has 20 so 6 times 20=120
pyramid volume=legnth times width times height times 1/3 v=base times height times 1/2 v=1 times 2 times 1/3 v=2/3 volume of 1 pyramid is 2/3 cubic inches
divide 120 by 2/3 to find out how many pyrimds will fit into amount given 120/1 divide by 2/3=120/1 times 3/2=360/2=180
