Question

PLEASE HELP!!

Arla bakes banana bread in a pan that measures 10 in. long, 12 1/2 in. wide, and 2 in. tall.
She decides to cut pieces of bread that measure 2 in. by 2 1/2 in. by 2 in.
Enter the number of pieces of bread that Arla cuts from the pan into the box.

Answer 1

First, we need to find the volume of the pan. We do this by multiplying the length, width, and height together. This is:


`volume=10*12 (1)/(2) *2=250 in^(3)`

Next, we find the volume of the pieces of bread. We do this the same way.


`volume=2*2 (1)/(2)*2=10in^(3)`

Finally, we figure out how many times 10 can go into 250. We do this by dividing 250 by 10.

250/10=25, so Arla can cut 25 pieces of bread.
