Question

A rancher is ordering a box of cube-shaped salt licks. the edge length of each salt lick are 5/12 foot. is the volume of one salt lick greater or less than 1 cubic foot?​

Answer 1

0.0723 cubic feet < 1 cubic foot.

Explanation:

A cube-shaped salt lick is ordered by a rancher and the length of each salt lick is
`(5)/(12)` foot.

Therefore, the side length of each salt lick of cube-shape is
`(5)/(12)` foot.

So, the volume of each salt lick is
`((5)/(12) * (5)/(12) * (5)/(12)) = (125)/(1728) = 0.0723` cubic feet.

Hence, this volume is less than 1 cubic foot. (Answer)
