As many as 60,000 bees can live in 3 cubic feet of space. There are about 360,000 bees in a rectangular obveservation beehive that is 2 feet long by 3 feet high. What is the minimum possible width of the observation hive?

60,000 x 6 - 360,000 so we need 6 x 3 cubic feet or 18 cubic feet

the hive is 2 x 3 (or 6 so far). In order to have 18 cubic feet the height wou0dl have to be 3 feet high.
2 x 3 x 3 = 18
