Question

What’s the volume, in cubic feet, of the box in the figure?

A. 3.5
B. 3
C. 4.5
D. 4

Answer 1

B. 3 cubic feet

Explanation:

Volume formula:

Height times Width times Length = Volume

H times W times L = V

18 inches times 16 inches times 18 inches = 5184 inches

18 times 16 times 18 = 5184

5184 inches = 3 cubic feet

Answer 2

Volume is found by multiply the length by the width by the height.

Since the dimensions are in inches but you need feet, divide the dimensions by 12 to convert to feet:

18 /12 = 1.5

16/12 = 1.333

Volume = 1.5 x 1.5 x 1.33

Volume = 3 cubic feet.

The answer is B.3
