Question

Jay stores hay in cubic stacks on his farm. If the length of each stack is 2/3 yards, what is the volume of hay in each stack? 1/3 cubic yards, 4/9 cubic yards, 1/9 cubic yards, 8/27 cubic yards

Answer 1

Answer: The volume of hay in each stack is 8/27 yards

Explanation:

Since, the volume of a cube = (side)³

Here, the side of the a cubic stack =
`(2)/(3)` yards,

Hence, the volume of a cubic stack,

`V=((2)/(3))^3`

`=(8)/(27)` cube yard.

⇒ The volume of hay in each stack is 8/27 yards

Answer 2

`\left( (2)/(3)\,yd\right)^(3)=(8)/(27)\,yd^(3)`

The 4th selection is appropriate.
