Question

Winnie poured 14 cups of water into a rectangular container measuring 13 inches by 7 inches by 6 centimeters. [1 cup = 14.44 cubic inches; 1 inch = 2.54 cm] Part A: What is the maximum volume of water that the rectangular container can hold? Show your work. (3 points) Part B: How many cubic inches of water was poured into the container? (3 points) Part C: What was the height of the water in the container? Show your work. (4 points)

Answer 1

Part A:
Max volume = Volume of container = 13 in x 7 in x 6 in = 546 in^3

Part B:
1 cup = 14.4375 in^3

14 cups = 14.4375 in^3 x 7 = 202.125 in^3

Part C:
Height of water = (202.125 in^3)/(13 in x 7 in) = 2.22 in.
