hmm, find the area
area=length times widtha
rea=4 times 4=16 square feet
so every 16 square feet is 1000 earthworms
so ratio of worms to area is 1000:16
if each side length is 8 then
8 times 8=64 area
but how many worms?
1000:16=?:64
1000/16=?/64
times both sides by 64
64000/16=?
4000=?
wat, not listed? why
if we assume it's a cube then
voluem is 4^3 or 64
1000:64 is the ratio
if 8ft then 8^3=512
so
1000:64=?:512
1000/64=?/512
512000/64=?
8000=?
I guess it was a cube then
A would be the answer
