Answer 1

Alright, lets get started.

First of all, I assume you have provided below details in your question :

Its 40 feet container

The container is 2.4 meters wide

Container has enclosed volume of 2,660 cubic feet.

We will try to convert everything into inches because we are asked to find height of container in units of inches.

Length of container = 40 feet

Length of container
`= 40 * 12`

Length of container = 480 inches

Width of container = 2.4 meters

Width of container
`= 2.4 * 39.37`

Width of container = 94.49 inches

Volume of the container = 2660 cubic feet

Volume of the container
`= 2660 * 1728`

Volume of the container = 4596480 cubc inches

Volume
`(V) = L*W*H`

`4596480 = 480*94.49*H`

`4596480 = 45355.2*H`

Dividing by 45355.2 in both sides

`(45355.2*H)/(45355.2) = (4596480)/(45355.2)`

`H = 101.34 inches`

Hence the height of the container is 101.34 inches : Answer

Hope it will help :)
