Answer:

4 bag's

Explanation:

Given the bean bag made by beth is in the shape of cube with each side of the cube equal to 2 feet.

Now Also given that each bean bag holds 2 cubic feet of beans.

Let the number of bags of beans recquired are x

The total number of beans available are 2x cubic feet

Now the volume of the bean bag made by beth is


Volume = side^(3)

Volume =
2^3

Volume = 8 cubic feet

Now 8 = 2x

x = 4

Therefore the number of bag's of beans recquired are 4
