Question

Olivia is buying a travel crate for her puppy. A pet store website lists the dimensions of

different crates, including one that is the right size for Olivia's puppy. The crate is 30 inches
long and 22 inches tall. However, the site does not list the width of the crate, which Olivia
needs to know in order to check whether the crate will fit in her car. She sees that the website
lists the total volume of the crate as 12,540 cubic inches. What is the width of the crate?

Answer 1

the width of the crate is 19 inches.

Explanation:

we know the length is 30 inches and the height is 22 inches. We also know the total volume of the crate is 12,540 cubic inches. So we can plug these values into the formula and solve for the width:

12,540 = 30 x width x 22

Dividing both sides by 30x 22 we get:

width = 12,540 / 30 x 22 = 19 inches

therefore the width is 19 inches.
