Question

A shoe box has dimensions of 12 inches

by 8 inches by 6 inches. How many cubic
feet is it?

Answer 1

Firstly we need to convert inches to feet.

Since, 1 Foot = 12 inches

all the dimensions of the shoebox in feet are:

Length: 12 inches / 12 = 1 foot

Width: 8 inches / 12 = 0.6667 feet

Height: 6 inches / 12 = 0.5 feet

volume of cuboid = l*b*h

(here cuboid is shoes box)

1 ft x 0.6667 ft x 0.5 ft = 0.3333 cubic feet

Therefore, the shoebox has a volume of 0.3333 cubic feet.

First, we need to convert the dimensions to feet.

12 inches = 1 foot 8 inches = 2/3 foot 6 inches = 1/2 foot

Now, we can find the volume in cubic feet:

Volume = length x width x height Volume = 1 ft x 2/3 ft x 1/2 ft Volume = 1/3 cubic feet

Therefore, the shoe box has a volume of 1/3 cubic feet.
