Question

In her first design for water rush Ms Luca used 4 same-size rectangular bins to hold sand. Each bin had a volume of 180 cubic yards. Then ms Luca changed her design to use 2 new same-size rectangular bins. The total volume of the 2 new bins. The volume of the 2 new bins is equivalent to the total volume of the 4 original bins. What is the length of each of the new bins. Show your work.

Answer 1

The question is asking for the length. The height is given as 6 and the width is given as 5. The length is unknown

To find the length use formula lxwxh=volume

We know the volume of each bin to be 360 so we plug into the formula

lx5x6=360 (multiply)

lx30=360 (divide both sides by 30 to isolate the unknown, which is the length).

360/30= 12

l=12

The length is equal to 12

The answer is 12.

Answer 2

Hello


Ms Luca has 4 bins which each has 180 cubic yards so 4×180= 720

Now she has a new design which has 2 bins which carry THE SAME amount so...

720÷2= 360

answer is 360
