Question

a farmer stacked hay bales.the length and width of each hay bale are shown below 1 1/3 ft and 4 ft the volume of each hay bale is 10 2/3 cubic feet.the farmer stacked eight hay bales on top of one another.what is the height,in feet,of the stacked hay bales?

Answer 1

To determine the height of each of the hay bales, we divide the volume by the length and the width.
H = (10 2/3 ft³) / (1 1/3 ft x 4 ft)
H = 2 ft
Since there are eight stacked hay bales, we multiply this height by 8 to solve for the total height. The answer is 16 ft.
