Question

One smaller cube labeled with fish food with dimensions of one-quarters feet on each side. Larger cube labeled shipping box with dimensions of length 3 and three-fourths feet; width of 3 feet; height of 3 and one-quarters feet. Part 1: Understanding Volume

Answer 1

Given: Length of smaller cube= 1/4 feet each side

Length of larger cube= 3.75 feet

Width of larger cube= 3 feet

Height of larger cube= 3.25 feet

Explanation:

Volume of a cube= length * width * height

Volume of a larger cube= 3.75 * 3 * 3.25 cubic foot

Volume=36.5625 cubic foot

Volume of smaller cube= length * length * length (as length is same on each side)

Volume of smaller cube= 1/4 * 1/4 * 1/4

Volume of smaller cube= 1/64 cubic foot

Hence, volume is calculated.
