Answer:
1 cubic ft can also be 1728in3, or 0.03704 yd3
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the cubic feet of a square or rectangular shape, measure the length, width and height of the object in feet or inches. Once you have these three numbers, multiply them together to get the volume. If you measured in inches, divide your answer by 1728 to convert the measurement to feet.
With these, always write out the multiples first.
Start like this:
(assume one of the factors is negative)
1 and 1120
2 and 560
4 and 280
5 and 224
7 and 160
8 and 140
10 and 112
14 and 80
16 and 70
20 and 56
28 and 40
32 and 35
from those, the obvious choice is the one with a difference of three. In this case, 32 and 35, because -32 + 35 equals 3.
I not that good with math but I would say C.
The goal is to get the volume as large as possible while the surface area is made as small as possible. Why? Because the volume is the amount of stuff you can hold and the surface area is the amount of material to make the container.
Consider an example of making a cup. The inside portion is the amount the cup can hold. The more liquid, the better. The cup makers want to use as little material as possible so that they reduce costs. If the cup makers produce a cup that has volume of 10 cubic inches and uses 10 square inches of material, then the surface area to volume ratio is 10:10 which reduces to 1:1. A more efficient cup is made if that same volume (10 cubic inches) can be made for less material say 5 square inches to make the ratio now 5:10 which reduces to 1:2.
So in summary, reducing the surface area to volume ratio will make more sense economically as the company makes more money while reducing costs (therefore increasing overall profit)
