Question

A kitchen drawer has a Volume 1,125 cubic inches. The drawer is 15 inches long and 5 inches deep. What is the width of the drawer? Please show work so I can understand

Answer 1

The width of the drawer is
`15\ in`

Explanation:

we know that

The volume of the drawer is equal to

`V=LWH`

we have

`L=15\ in`

`H=5\ in` -----> the deep of the drawer

`V=1,125\ in^(3)`

substitute the given values in the formula and solve for W

`1,125=(15)(W)(5)`

`1,125=(75)(W)`

`W=1,125/(75)`

`W=15\ in`
