Question

A cord of firewood is 128 cubic feet. Margaretta has three storage boxes for a firewood that each measure 2 feet by 3 feet by 4 feet. does she have enough space to order a full cord of firewood? A half cord? A quarter cord?

Answer 1

Explanation:

If she has 3 boxes and each of them measure 2 by 3 by 4, the volume of each can be found by multiplying those three numbers together. The volume of each then is found to be 24 cubic feet. If she has three of them, she can store 72 cubic feet of firewood. She can't store a full cord, but she can store half a cord and still have some room left. A half cord is 64 cubic feet.
