Question

Whitney is making a strawberry cake for her brother’s birthday. The cake pan is a right rectangular prism 20 cm wide by 28 cm long. Whitney puts 1848 cm of batter into the pan. How deep is the cake batter?

Answer 1

v=lwh

1848=(28)(20)h

1848=560h

h = 3.3 cm

Answer 2

The deep of the cake batter is 3.3 cm.

Explanation:

Given: The cake pan is a right rectangular prism 20 cm wide by 28 cm long.

Whitney puts 1848 cm^3 of batter into the pan.

From the given information, we get

length (l) = 20 cm

width(w) = 28 cm

Volume(v) = 1848 cm^3

Now we have to find the height (that is the deep of cake batter).

Volume of a rectangular prism (V) = length*width*height

Now plug in the given values and simplify to get the deep of the cake batter.

1848 = 20*28*height

1848 = 560*height

Dividing both sides by 560, we get

Height =1848/560

= 3.3 cm

Therefore, the deep of the cake batter is 3.3 cm.
