Question

The volume of a rectangular box is 1600 cubic inches. The height of the box is 8 inches and the length of the box is 2 times longer than the width of the box. What is the width of the box "IN FEET FT"?

Answer 1

0.833 feets

Explanation:

Given that:

Volume of box = 1600

Heigh of box (H) = 8 inches

Let:

Width of box (W) = x

Length of box (L) = 2x

Volume of box = (Height * width * length)

1600 = (8 * x * 2x)

1600 = 16x²

x² = 1600/16

x² = 100

x = sqrt(100)

x = 10 inches

Hence, width of box in feet:

1 inch = 0.0833 feets

10 inches = (10 * 0.0833) feets

= 0.833 feets
