Question

Maya has a sandbox that is 4 1/2 feet long, 3 feet wide, and 1/2 foot deep. How many cubic feet of sand does she need to fill the sandbox completely?
A. 13 and 1/2

B. 6 and 3/4

C. 5 and 1/4

D. 8

Answer 1

We need to find the area. So we multiply the dimensions.

3x1/2=1.5

1.5x4 1/2=6.75

Decimal was my go-to so we need to convert back to a fraction.

6.75= 6 3/4

So the answer is B.
