Question

Zen wants to fill a window box with soil. The length of the window box is 5 feet, width is 6 inches, and height is 9 inches. Each bag of soil contains 0.625 cubic foot of soil. How many bags of soil will Zen need to fill the window box completely.

Answer 1

Volume of box=5×½×¾=15/8 cu ft.
Bag of soil is 0.625 cu ft=5/8 cu ft.
15/8 divided by 5/8 is 3 so 3 bags of soil are needed.
