Answer:

2700 bushels

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all we have to calculate the square storage bin volume:

Square storage bin volume= Side*Side*Side

<em>Remember that in a square storage bin (cube) the sides are the same length.</em>

Then:

Square storage bin volume= Side*Side*Side

Square storage bin volume= 15 feet*15 feet*15 feet

Square storage bin volume= 3375 $feet^{3}$

We know that 1 bushel fits in 1.25 cubic feet, then in order to calculate how many bushels the square storage bin contain:

3375 $feet^{3}$ * (1 bushel)/(1.25 $feet^{3}$ )

2700 bushels
