Answer:

A. No

B. Yes

C. No

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimensions of each book are 4 inches by 11 by 14 inches.

A. Each book has a volume of 29 cubic inches.

Volume of each book = length × width × height

= 616 cubic inches

No

B. If the crate could hold 18 books the volume of the crate would be 11,088.

Volume of each book = 616 cubic inches

Volume of the crate = volume of each book × number of books

= 616 × 18

= 11,088 cubic inches

Yes

C. Each crate has a volume of about 8,524 cubic inches

If the crate holds 14 books,

Volume of the crate = volume of each book × number of books

= 616 × 14

= 8,624 cubic inches

No
