Question

A farmer has a feed trough in the shape of rectangular prism with a height of 40 cm and a base that is 30 cm wide by 200 cm long.

During the course of one week, the trough needed to be filled 2 times.

How many cubic centimeters of feed were needed during the week?

240,000 cm³
480,000 cm³
720,000 cm³
960,000 cm³

Answer 1

480,000 I just took the test!

Explanation:

Answer 2

To get the volume of the rectangular prism trough we will use the formula
Volume = l x w x h
where
l= 200 cm
w= 30 cm
h= 40 cm
Volume = 240,000cm^3
Trough is filled twice a week
Total volume of feed is multiplied by 2
Total feed volume in a week = 480,000 cm^3
