Three co-workers are packing books in a storage bin. The bin is 4 feet high, 9 feet long, and 11 feet wide. If 6 books fill 1 cubic foot, how many books will fit in the storage bin?

Alright, lets get started.

Height of the bin = 4 ft

Length of the bin = 9 ft

Width of the bin = 11 ft

Volume of the bin =
L*W*H

Volume V
= 9*11*4

Volume V
= 396 cubic feet

6 books fiils 1 cubic feet

or

1 cubic feet is filled by = 6 books

So, 396 cubic feet is filles by
= 396 * 6

So, 396 cubic feet is filles by
=2376 books

It means 2376 books will fit in the storage bin. : Answer

Hope it will help :)
