Question

Samuel has an ant farm with a volume of 375 cubic inches. The width of the ant farm is 2.5 inches and the length is 15 inches. What is the height of Samuel's ant farm?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information, it is clear that the shape of ant form is rectangular prism.

Let us write formula for volume of rectangular prism (ant form)

V = l x w x h

Use the formula to write an equation.

Plug V = 375, w = 2.5 and l = 15

375 = 15 x 2.5 x h

375 = 37.5 x h

Divide both sides of the equation by 37.5

375/37.5 = (37.5 x h)/37.5

10 = h

Hence, the height of the form is 10 inches.
