Question

A stack of wood 4 feet wide, 8 feet long, and 4 feet high is equal to 1 cord of wood. How Many cords would a pile 4 feet wide, 16 feet long, and 4 feet high contain

Answer 1

There will be two cords of wood in one pile of wood

Explanation:

1 cord of wood is equal to 4 feet wide, 8 feet long, and 4 feet high

Volume of 1 cord of wood

`= L * B * H`

Substituting the give values we get

Volume of 1 cord of wood
`= 4 * 8 * 4`

Volume of pile
`= 4 * 16 * 4`

Number of cord in one pile of wood is equal to volume of pile divided by volume of one cord

`(4*16*4)/(4*8*4) = 2`

There will be two cords of wood in one pile of wood.
