Question

Jay stores hay in cubic stacks on his farm. If the length of each stack is 2/3 yards, what is the volume of hay in each stack? 1/3 cubic yards, 4/9 cubic yards, 1/9 cubic yards, 8/27 cubic yards

Answer 1

Answer: The volume of hay in each stack is 8/27 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the volume of a cube = (side)³

Here, the side of the a cubic stack = $\frac{2}{3}$ yards,

Hence, the volume of a cubic stack,

$V=(\frac{2}{3})^3$

$=\frac{8}{27}$ cube yard.

⇒ The volume of hay in each stack is 8/27 yards

Answer 2

$\left( \dfrac{2}{3}\,yd\right)^{3}=\dfrac{8}{27}\,yd^{3}$

The 4th selection is appropriate.
