8 ft For question 7: Readand solve the problem. Show your work. (1 point) 7. Elijah is pouring sand into a glass cube with a side length measuring 2.5 inches. How many cubic inches of sand can he fit into the cube?

Answer 1

First of all We will need to find the area of the cube with side 2.5 inches...

$\boxed{ \mathfrak {area \: of \: cube = side^{2} }}$

• Side is denoted by the variable a which is equal to 2.5 in our case

$\sf \: area = 2.5 ^{2}$

$\tt \: area = 6.25 \: {in}^{2}$

Let us assume that 1 gram of sand covers 1 in², So the maximum amount of sand that could fit is 6.25 grams of sand...~
