Question

If the empirical ratio for number of blocks in a box is 2 blocks per cubic inch, approximately how many blocks should fit in the box shown below?

A. 30 blocks

B. 60 blocks

C. 120 blocks

D. 240 blocks

Answer 1

C. 120 blocks

Explanation:

If the empirical ratio for number of blocks in a box is 2 blocks per cubic inch, there are approximately 120 blocks that could fit in the box shown.

10⋅3⋅2=60

2 blocks per cubic inch

60⋅2=120

Therefore, the answer is 120 blocks.

Answer 2

Choice 3

Explanation:

This is the answer because we first have to find the number of cubic inches by finding the VOLUME.

10x3x2 is 60. If there is 2 blocks per cubic inch, that would be 60x 2 which is 120 cubic inches which is C.

Hope this helps!! :D
