Answer:


\boxed{\text{15.8 cords}}

Explanation:

Step 1. Calculate the volume of the room

V = lwh = 5 yd × 5 yd × 3 yd = 75 yd³

Step 2. Convert cubic yards to cubic feet

3 ft = 1 yd


V = \text{75 yd}^(3) * \left(\frac{\text{3 ft}}{\text{1 yd}} \right)^(3) = \text{2025 ft}^(3)

Step 3. Convert cubic feet to cords

128 ft³ = 1 cord


V = \text{2025 ft}^(3) * \frac{\text{1 cord}}{\text{ 128 ft}^(3)} = \textbf{15.8 cords}\\\\\text{You could fit }\boxed{\textbf{15.8 cords}} \text{ of wood into the room.}
