Question

A block of cheese is in the shape of a rectangular prism with a width of 2.5 inches and a height of 5 inches. The volume of the block of cheese is 75 cubic inches. What is the length of the block of cheese?

Answer 1

The formula for volume is l x w x h.

Explanation

To find the missing link, we do the equation backwards.

l x 2.5 x 5 = 75

If we divide 75 by 5 then by 2.5, we get 6 which becomes our length.

To check, do 5 x 2.5 x 6 which should equal 75

6 is your length
