Question

Skylar models the volume of a popcorn box as a right rectangular prism and the box can hold 69 cubic inches of popcorn when it is full. Its width is 33 in and its height is 5 3/4 in. Find the length of the popcorn box in inches. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answer 1

4/11 of an inch (about .4 of an inch)

Explanation:

`l * 33 * 5.75 = 69`

`189.75l = 69`

`l = (69)/(189.75) = (4)/(11) = .3636`

So the length of the popcorn box is 4/11 of an inch, or about .4 of an inch.
